I have a DSL connection I can't access. The modem says the DSL link is connected and I even get PPP up with bridging , but IE still can't connect. I am desperate. I have tried everything I know , and some things I don't:) I have my ISP addy but don't know how to set it up in modem and they won't help because it's not theirs , but it was working fine until a threat detection by PC Tools

Did you reboot the modem & the PC? Have you tried another PC?
How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

What type of modem is it? Disable PC Tools. Run ipconfig /all & post the results.

I have both the westell 2200 and the 6100 Dual Connect. I even uninstalled the PC Tools . Did ipconfig/all and I got:

It looks like your dns server it's poiting at itself (192.168.1.1). I will suggest you to get the dns server IP from your ISP and edit 192.168.1.1 to your local internet service provider's DNS.

dns would not be the issue with no internet access
we need to know what the pc is connected to, the westel or the 6100?
Appears everything is fine on the pc. Not uncommong to point to the gateway for dns though like mamut0o1 I like to specify the isps dns server.
make sure the windows and any third party firewall software is disabled for now as to not interfer with testing.

Let me ask you something that I'm not getting; does your modem has a subnet of 192.168.1.0
and your router as well>?
it looks like they both under the same subnet to me.
please let me know...

Why do you need two Westells? Those things are strange in the first place. Now you have double trouble.
How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

No , the subnet is 255.255.255.0 I have 2 westells because I used to have Verizon as my ISP The 2200 was working fine with new service until last week. I went into modem and added my ISP info in the VC / VPI section , turned off DHCP , and even disabled DNS so that it acts as just a regular modem ..........still no internet. The modem says that PPP status is UP but only in bridge. I always get the DSL link working , and good ole dial up is fine . Where do I specify ISP s DNS server ? I tried doing this under the TCP / IP properties under my LAN connection . Was this the right place? If I should enter the ISPs DNS server into the modem , under what heading?

If they both have router capabilities then they both have web interfaces & they both might also have the same default internal IP address, which is a conflict.
If I remember correctly, you have to connect a PC directly to each to open the web interface, so you would have to remove one to get to the one closer to the ISP's line.
Which one receives the ISP's signal? Have you opened both web interfaces?
Yes, you are in the right place for the DNS entry. I would use all static IPs.

"the subnet is 255.255.255.0"
That is not what I'm talking about. That is the subnet mask.
You have several configuration problems; You have already setup your modem as bridge and the "new" router gets a connection once you enter your user name and password provided by ISP; OK! now;
Problem number 1: you dont have to disable DHCP and DNS to have a "router act as a modem." You need to setup your modem in bridge mode so your "new" router can act as a router. ENABLEDHCP and enable DNS from your main modem (without DNS you won't be able to get out the internet unless you enter it manually in you NIC settings).
Problem Number 2: I suspect that the new router your are tryin to install has the same subnet base of 192.168.1.0. You need to login into the "new" router and change the subnet to
192.168.2.0 so basically your "new" router IP will be 192.168.2.1 with DHCP enable as well.
Let me know if that helps.

I'm only using the westell 2200. It is connected to the PC directly. Are you saying that I need to re address my nic to get out ?

I though you had a modem and a router setup. if you're only using one modem it should be setup as "PPPoE" to connect to your dsl provider. You only setup your modem in bridge mode when you are adding another router to the picture so in your case that won't be necessary since you have only one modem and your pc will be plug in directly to this modem; you should use PPPoE configuration. Leave the DHCP and DNS enable.

When I do that I only have a DSL link and neither IE or Firefox can display web page. I don't understand why it won't work , it was fine until last tuesday

Fiona50, let's start from the beginning. Show us your network using the following format. For example:
ISP > Dlink modem/router > cisco switch > all PCs.
Substitute your hardware starting from the ISP & ending with your PCs. If there is more than one choice, show all of them.
The entire network should be on the same subnet for now.
