Philip, thank you for your advise.

OK. I tried but did not work. Actually the phone line plug that goes into
the DSL modem is smaller (6 pins) and the WAN socket is bigger (8 pins).
Anyway, I plug it in. I am unable to login, error message: 678, remote
computer did not response.

The Airlink 4 port 10/199mbps Internet Broadband Router manual:

xDSL Modem --> WAN Port (Internet Broadband Router)

WAN: an RJ-45 10/100mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that will fit the
xDSL/Cable modem's specification need.
LAN: four RJ-45 10/100mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps
or 100mbps Ethernet connections.

My question is in XP is there any setting requires me to set up for WAN
port? Thank you.
