Does AT&T have you as a PPPoE client or a PPPOA client. That is one thing to check out. Your router should have a Internet Status screen. See if it is connected or not. Make sure you have the router set as your Default Gateway. Also make sure you can ping the router. Then try to ping an outside IP address (www.yahoo.com IP is 64.58.76.224). Also on the router (if you are connected to the internet) you should be able to find out your external IP. Try pinging that. If you can ping your external router IP, you should be able to get out on the internet. Good Luck!
