As this is a new development that started AFTER at&t flashed the modem with new firmware, I doubt it is faulty or zapped equipment. I don't believe in those kinds of co-incidences. AFA compatibility, I think we are reaching for a hare's horn :) > In the best of worlds, you'd reconfigure their modem/router to act as > just a bare-bones modem (bridge mode), so there's less processing > between modem and your own router.

Obviously you have not used at&t uverse service :) Without THEIR modem nothing works. Uverse is a package: TV, Internet, Phone services. Decryption of the TV signal occurs in the modem, and is then sent out the same cable on a different frequency, which is then picked up by each TV's at&t' STB. The modem just has piggybacked into it the WIFI and ethernet card. > Can you break it, accidentally on purpose? ;-) I think the owner could ask them to replace it. but I do not believe that is the problem. Everything works except for the comm between the LAN clients. That is why I do not believe in the "zapped" theory. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
