The manufacturers web site with this advice is here.
check the configuration of the modem if you can. I do not know the exact model of the modem, could you post it? then with the exact model of the modem you could google it for a Manual, Handbook, or simply good configurations. If the configurations are good, then could be the firmware that is not updated, or in the last case ask Qwest to change your modem for one that works. A piece of advice don't open it or modify it because you could void the warranty, in case of a change.
I found out that the ps3 is case senitive for the password so it there is caps in the password use caps..the qwest guy gave me a password like fff3093fhfhjh3r and I had to use FFF3093FHFH blah blah
The modem overheats due to lack of ventilation. I fixed mine first with Ice packs then a small twelve volt fan and some inexpensive heat sinks glued to the top of the two processor chips.
I have had this same problem with Qwest using a new iMac and MacBook on the Actiontec modem. Qwest did two things: first we reset the modem which was fairly simple and took only about 5 minutes. However, this fix lasts only a few weeks and it comes back. I have just ordered a new modem since there seems to be a problem with the Actiontec device with the newer high speed internet.
I'd try the reset before doing anything else. Good luck.
reset the modem by removing power for a coulpe of minutes and then power it up wait a minute for the modem to reset and then try to connect to the internet
The DSL router/modem will receive an address from your ISP (Qwest) and will assign an address to the connected PC.
There should be a cable that goes from your DSL modem to your PC. It'll either be a USB cable (flat rectangular plug on the PC end), or a RJ45 (looks like a wider telephone plug).
If there is neither connection between the DSL modem and your PC, then the PC can't "talk" to the DSL modem, so it's not getting an address from the DSL modem.
