tried both and still the same result, it wasn't immediate tho, the net would work great for awhile but then after maybe 2 or 3 hours webpages would just timeout everytime.
the parameter that confused me on the modem was when i enabled port forwarding to the correct ports for BT, they had the tcp/udp parameter, port start and port end
but then they had a port map parameter, forwarding wouldn't work on the modem without something being in there, i just put the first port # in there and just like i said, BT worked great but the net would timeout on everything later, maybe if i understood what the port map thing is (i searched here and googled it) that may help
thanks again for your help
i'm going to reset the router to default and put the modem back where i started and try one thing at a time until i can get the right formula, hopefully this problem can get sorted
i will keep this thread updated with what i did to get it to work, if i can get it to work
