Because your ATA and modem are also routers. For some reason the ATA no longer routes packets out to the modem. Most likely case is that they overlap IP address ranges, i.e. the modem uses 192.168.1.xxx as it's LAN side IP range, and the ATA also uses it. The best way to fix it IMHO is to plug both the ATA and your computer into separate ethernet ports on the modem. If it only has one port, you MAY be able to add a small hub to provide extra ports, but first make sure the modem will support multiple clients. The second best way would be to move the ATA's LAN side IP address to another network. This would also require changing the DHCP server's address in the ATA to match. The ATA has QOS routing in it to make sure your internet usage does not affect phone calls. If you are a heavy phone user, it is worth having. A friend of mine found that going through his ATA cut his download speed to half of what it was without it. He only used his phone for faxes and a few calls a month, so he got rid of it and put in a landline. YMMV. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson, N3OWJ/4X1GM/KBUH7245/KBUW5379
