[brlug-newbies] Home network with Bellsouth

[Joe Fruchey]

For standard configuration, you point your web browser to the default
gateway. Unless you changed any settings on your Linksys, that'll be
192.168.1.1. I believe the default username/pass combo is admin, no
pass.

You need to set the WAN to PPPoE with your Bellsouth username/pass
(the username must include the @bellsouth.net part) and your modem
must be set to bridge mode, but the Bellsouth rep can help you with
that during setup.

If you're looking for something more specific, I don't know. I have
two BEFW11S4's, though, so I may be able to help.
