Just replaced my four year old modem only with a Westell 2200-15 Router/Modem from Verizon. I'm new to routers and don't understand the terminology used. Two questions:

1. Default VC configuration came as PPPoE. Does this mean it's in router mode?

2. The other configuration I've seen mentioned is ...

Thanks for the info. Anything on this site give instructions as to how to setup the 220 as a router?

Just replaced my dying B90 Westell with their 2200-15 Verizon version on my home computer. No network or any other computers in the system.

Is there any advantage to setting it up as a router if it's used on a stand alone computer?

If yes, how do I set it up as a router?

Thanks but I'm using the Verizon version.

Can't Get to -http://192.168.1.1[/url] with Verizon Westell 2200-15.

Just replaced my dying Westell B90 with Verizon version of their 2200-15. Get on line with no problems but I get "This page can't be displayed" message when I try to access the NAT Router with the -192.168.1.1 address.

I'm using Diskeeper 7 on Win XP Pro. You can set it to run continuously in the background. Doesn't seem to steal much in the way of resources.

Don't I feel silly. That'll teach me to go to Speedguides first. Shoulda known it starts here.

Now I'm doubly sure there isn't an MTU key in XP.

Thanks for not rubbing it in too much.

I don't have 2600. I mistakenly used the original Post Subject "XP2600: are my settings, etc".

I have 2542. Signed up with MS for the RC1 evaluation CD. Downloaded RC2 form MS.

I have the same question about 2600. Where do people get it. Is it legal?

Where in the Win XP registry were you able to set the MTU to 1500? I haven't been able to change anything.

There is no .inf file for my DSL. I did a find MaxFrameSize in the registry and it is 1492.

I've confirmed my registry for MTU is 1492 but SG TCP/IP Analyzer & Win XP says 1480. Using XP's native PPPoE on Verizon 640/90 DSL

TCP options string = 020405a00103030001010402

MTU = 1480
MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput.

MSS ...

Does SG TCP/IP Analyzer work on the Windows XP registry. It gives me different readings than appear in my registry.

SG TCP/IP Analyzer tells me to set my MTU to 1500 and change the Rwin to a multiple of MSS. Win XP is new for me. Where are the keys?

Using Verizon 640/90 DSL Westell modem and Linksys NIC.

Anyone know where to set DefaultRcvWindow in Win XP registry?

Thanks for the advice. I'll try your suggestion and let you know.

Trying to finish install of BEFSR41 but just can't get to setup. Cabling is correct - network properties are correct -LEDs indicate everything OK - but http://192.168.1.1 or just 192.168.1.1 just won't open the setup. Spoke to Linksys - not much help - talked me through everything they could think ...

Had to do a re-install of Win ME because "Windows Help" and a few other features stopped working. Since then, can't get on line with RASPPPOE or my backup dialup. Keep getting "Can't Find Server" message despite reinstalling RASPPPOE.096 correctly. Have Verizon 640/90 DSL, Linksys card & Westell ...
