TELOCITY - DSL Install, HELP??

[Ender510]

First, I am in Northern CA. I ordered DSL a few weeks ago and received everything.. here is what I plan on hooking up to the line:

SMC Barricade 4 port DSL Router
Linux Server for the Web/Mail/etc. Server
2 Client Machines

For now however,I just want to get my lone win98 machine working. So I installed everything per intructions and also installed the s/w using both USB and ethernet.

Problem is that I can never get the configuration management to ever stop. The status light continues to blink green. The power light stays green. Any help from anyone? Is it because there servers are down? IF I already know what my static IP is suppose to be, is it possible for me to just setup my IP directly instead of doing the DHCP IP route configuration they want you to do?? Thx in advance..

if u use a router you will not need to use any of the software that came with the modem....
my brother has telocity with a similar set up except he is running win2k....we just set his static IP in tcp/ip settings....and he just hooked his router to his hub(he only had a single port router)...and he was good to go...pm me with any questions
