Check the outbound address of the box, the one Rogers gave it.  Is it
a 192.168.* address, or a 24.* address?

The former would indicate that the modem is in 'connection sharing'
mode.  If you already have a routing box, you don't want this.

Mine dropped into that annoying mode today when I restarted it while
the network was offline, proving that even in the "reboot early,
reboot often" consumer world, rebooting sometimes creates more
problems than it solves. ;)
