hmm...the problem is, I cannot connect the USB modem to the router. The USB
plug on my modem goes to the USB port on my PC and there's a phone jack for
the telephone line. That's it, nothing on the modem that connects to the
router directly.
So I figured out I'll have to set up ICS. Any way to assign a different IP
address to the router?
