Where I am running into issues is with wireless connectivity. I have changed the IP of the 524 to 192.168.0.2 and disabled the DHCP server in it. Wirelessly I can get to the admin pages of both routers, but I can't get out to the 'net. The way its setup right now is: Cable Modem --> WAN port on 704, LAN Port of 704 --> LAN port of 524 Right now the 704 is connected to the 524 with a regular CAT5 cable, but I have read conflicting info about needing a cross-over cable. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!"
