Ethernet port is ''locked'' dsl modem




By bigstank69 on Nov 11, 2009

Hey guys i have a netopia dsl modem with 2 ports. 1 port is the usb which is hooked directly into my com. The other is the ethernet port and it has never been used. I just got me an xbox and i am trying to hook up on xbox live so i need the ethernet port. I hooked the ethernet cable up and.....no lights. It reads nothing. After tinkering around on my com i typed in my default gateway address and pulled up my modem's information. It said usb gateway- enabled and ethernet- locked. How can i unlock this port?
