So, I did some more troubleshooting, and learned that it is a hardware
problem. I called ACS, and found that their Westell DSL modems cause errors
when the act as a router. So, the ACS guy said, I should make it a bridge
and use something else as a router. He did also say that I could get a
different modem if I asked for it. I figured you all should know about
this, just in case I'm not the only one with a Westell.
I have an old, garage sale Linksys router (BEFSR41 v.4), and if I can get
the firmware upgraded and get it working, I'll be back in business.
