The issue is the DSL service and others have has the same experienced. I
don't remember the details of the service change, but Verizon used to allow
multiple machines to acquire IP addresses when using a hub or switch, and
has been progressively phasing this out. There are two possible solutions.
1. Some Westell DSL modems contain a built in router functionality. If
this is the case with yours, you need to log into the modem and reconfigure
it to enable the router mode.
2. Alternatively, replace your switch with a router. The switch can be
chained to the router if extra ports are needed.
I suggest using the Verizon news groups if you want to discuss it further.
