Well, before I hooked up the router, it never did this before.  The only 
time the light was red before was when they were reseting the box up the 
road or my puter was turned off.  Since the only thing that changed was 
the router, I sort of figure it has something to do with it.  I have had 
this DSL for over a year so I would think it would have did something 
weird by now.

If it does it again, I'm going to hook my puter back up straight to the 
modem and see if it works then.  That should rule out any changes up the 
road somewhere and the modem.

I'm going to read up on the links you posted.
