yea, i know all of that, i need to reset my router, i let someone borrow it a while back, and they screwed up the settings in it, so i need to reset it... but in order to do that, i need to go out and buy a null modem cable.. i am gonna do it in a couple of weeks..

now what i meant by "it acts like it's not plugged in":
My router's Wan light dont come on, and on my modem, the ethernet light doesnt come on, so they wont make a connection, i think they are incompatible...

I Have a 3COM Home Ethernet Gateway with a SpeedStream 5360 Ethernet DSL Modem that i got from SBC when i got their DSL.. and no, i can swich my MAC addy any time i want to... my ip starts with 68.254.*, it releases and renews daily, my modem does all of that though..

mabye u can get something out of these screenshots i took of my modem setup.. i dont get anything from here, mabye you can sift through this and see what is making it incompatable.. this is my modem set up..

i think my router does support port forwarding, but the problem is, i have to use it like a hub because when i plug my modem into the "wan" port on the back of my router, it acts like it's not plugged in.. i have a 3COM Home Ethernet Gateway, i think i need to reset it or something, but i dunno how to do that unless i go and buy a serial cable and go into terminal and re set it that way.. i was running linux on my desktop, it was connectiva linux, but the problem was that i needed windows on it, so i couldnt keep it on there, i think i might have enough parts to build a pII system in my closet, so i just might build a gateway out of that...

i dont like doing that intenet connection sharing thing, i have always had problems with it... i set my dsl modem to where it is a gateway,plug it into my hub, and i set my laptop(wich is what i play dpb on) to the actual IP address, and i set the others to the 192.168.0.x ip's.. that always seems to work fine that way..

<EDIT>
i usually leave my desktop running all of the time, but it's too slow to run DPB, or at least my video card it is too outdated, so i have to play on my laptop, i am gonna buy the crap and gut out my compaq as soon as i buy my paintball crap, and that's gonna be like $500 on it's own... so it'll be a while before i can do that.. my desktop is a Compaq presario 800MHz AMD Duron, 8MB nVidia Vanta LT, 256MB Ram, and 40GB Hard Drive, Upgraded to Windows XP from Windows ME, i have been meaning to re-build it for about two years, but never got to it, im so ashamed of it...lol

my router dont have port forwarding... all i am using is a hub with a firewall on every pc... so, all of my ip's are 192.168.0.x, my modem is 192.168.0.1, and my pc's are .2,.3,etc.. so i cant do that, all i can do is connect my dsl modem directly to my pc..

at the time i started the thread i was at my g'mas w/ cable internet....
