mangriff32 · 09-22-2007, 11:06 AM

ok well i have a Bellsouth DSL connection, i have a Westell modem (Model:C90-610030-06) and im trying to hook up a Netgear router (the router is: WGR614 v6) im trying to hook it up not to do wireless but simply a wired router, and when i hook it all up (put my modem on bridge, and login into my router and type in my bellsouth name and stuff) i try and go onto the internet and it brings me to a page from bellsouth saying: Password change or something like that, and if i try and change my password, it says that bellsouth cannot automatically change your password right now. and it gives me phone numbers to change my password.....so anyone have any advice on what to do?

It sounds like you're typing the wrong user name and/or password. You might also have it in the wrong mode, I believe you should be using PPPoE in the WAN configuration for Bellsouth DSL.
