Hi --
My new desktop has Vista Ultimate 32bit. For all the years that I have had the Westell 2200 modem, I have been able to access Expert mode to do port forwarding. Now when I click on Expert mode, I get the confirmation but then none of the options such as Configure, NAT, etc. appear at the left. How can I get this back? Thanks. Zan |

Hi
Your West ell 2200 Modem is actually a Combo Modem/Router. If you can log to the device and get its menus but only Expert mode does not work it might be some problem with the device's firmware. May be a new firmware, or a hard reset of the current one might help. Read the device's manual to find how. (MS, MVP-Networking) "Zan Mayo Glodich" wrote in message ...

My Westell 2100 modem displayed similar symptoms when I upgraded versions of IE. Could get in but certain functions wouldn't work like the switch to expert mode, for example. I discovered that the way they programmed the modem's internal web server is simply not compatible with the changed browser. There seems to be no firmware upgrade for my model although yours, being newer, might be more fortunate. I get along by keeping an old W2K computer operating as a server with an old IE version on it in my basement and when the modem needs tweaked I do it through the server. -- John McGaw http://johnmcgaw.com |

For the moment, the issue is resolved. I downloaded Firefox and through
that can access everything that I formerly could through Internet Explorer. Thanks, gentlemen. Regards, Zan "Zan Mayo Glodich" wrote in message ... Hi -- My new desktop has Vista Ultimate 32bit.
