[PLUG] dsl woes

[Tomas Kuchta]

Thanks Bob,

This should absolutely work - Unless you have some mis-configured routing
or DNS. Despite what you hear about the use of ISP gear only.

Let's diagnose this a little - with your router connected to DSL modem and
a PC to LAN:
* Can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?
* Can you ping 192.168.107.1 ?
* Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ?
* Ping www.google.com ?

Thanks,
T

Fwiw, I am very interested to hear why a PC works and your router does
not, because that makes zero sense from your description.
