Thank you for the update.
Hey
all,
Looks like the manager at my ISP got everything going. He did
find the
router firewall blocking traffic and the Netopia firmware out of
date.
Robert, Thanks for pointing me to those tools, gave me the ammo I
needed to
go back to the ISP. Everyone at ISP support line told me
that everything
was open on the router and nothing is being blocked.
Funny how the manager
found it. Anyway, in the end as long as it is
working all is good.
Now I have to figure why the dialup clients work
fine but one with a cable
internet connection wont browse
:)
Again...
Thank you all
Steve
