Default %^%Router&*%$Modem^(^*^%$
Well my 8 year old DSL moden bit the dust and Yhoo SBC gave me a new Motorola modem but my Lynksis wireless router isn't configured right? I don't know how to get the two to play nicely together and I really don't want to pay the GeekSquad $170 to come and make me feel stupid.

Good thing one of my neighbors has an unsecured wireless router...anyone have a clue how to help me?

hmmmm I've had like 5 different broadband wireless routers plugged up to my motorola cable modem and all worked right out of the box.

Do you know how to get into the configuration of the linksys. Usually a url address or IP
