Hi Chuck,
I've been reading some websites here and this thing seemed to have solved
the problem. I just ran the NETWORK SETUP WIZARD thing following the
instructions and it seems to be working fine now.
As for the http://SpeedStream thing, efficient website says it's only
available if my modem is configured as a rounter, which is not the case, so
that's why I cannot access it from my broweser.
For the e-mail thingy, this is not my real e-mail account. I just use it in
registrations and forums, so i dont get bothered by spam. I never get to
read it anyway. But thanks for your concern.
Again, thanks a lot spending your time trying to solve my problems.
