I may or may not have jumped the gun with my reply. Many ISPs have switched over to issueing a mandatory modem/router combo to their subscribers. My assumption (yes, I know) is that Greywolfe is currently running through one of them. My own ISP, Fronterinet, uses them, too. They also charge a 'rental fee' on them. Nice, huh? If Greywolfe 's current setup is two separate units then the answer he seeks has already been posted to the group by more than one member. If he has a combo unit, life gets significantly more difficult and we've got some heavy research to do.
