A friend of mine continues to encounter difficulties with having the T1 he has been paying for (I think it has been over a month now) working with his home network. He has had two people come over so far to try and get his SOHO router (Linksys WRT45G) work with the connection. The ISP itself (ACD) had tech support, but they have no clue how to support the T1 connection he has. Basically they made sure it was working when connected directly to his home computer and left it at that.
Now there has to be a router on their end that's handling csu/dsu for it to be able to be connected to the home computer and functioning. When it's connected to the router, for some reason the static IP registers and the DHCP functions but while the router port IP resolves, it is not allowing any network traffic through. Their technical support doesn't appear to be very knowledgeable about how they have everything set up. They don't know what we're sitting behind, and it makes things rather frustrating.
Any and all suggestions regarding this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. The router itself is using the static IP assigned to the port on the router that has to be handling the csu/dsu and DHCP is handling all internal traffic. It's just not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
