HALP, O FLIST!

So we just got DSL internet from AT&T. That was a clusterfuck in and of itself - an AT&T dude had to come by and connect the outside box. Wtf! And now we're trying to set up the wireless router and IT WON'T WORKKKK. We have a regular old Linksys Wireless-G router. We're accessing its settings by connecting to it through an ethernet cord. We can get to the settings page using Safari or Firefox, but when we try to change any settings at all, it just gives a failed load page saying that it dropped the server conncetion or something. We've tried everything - restarting the computer, restarting the router, changing computers, resetting our IP, EVERYTHING. Nothing is workingggg. :(

The Linksys website is of no help, but I was hoping some of you might be more tech savvy than me. What should we do?!

You may need to register for an actual AT&T account? When I got my modem/router combination (and you do have a modem, right?), the instructions that came with it had separate instructions for different companies, including AT&T - and I remember having to set up some sort of AT&T account. I called the number up and had a tech guy help me, too.

The person who came over and set up your outside connection should have made sure that the internet was functional. D: But I'd definitely call the support number because the people who I talked to were actually pretty helpful, even though the entire thing was a horrible, quite possibly traumatic mess. Good luck!

DSL from ATT was what I had when my internet would go out every couple of days. It sucked. And it was slow. We finally decided paying a little bit more for cable (from another company, of course, since I now hate ATT with the fiery passion of a thousand suns) was completely worth it.

Heyyy, it's rain_dances, I changed my username and deleted all my 'friend of' list, so now I'm going into everyone's journals who I would LOVE to friend me back. So please do so, if you so desire. :)
