My internet provider is Earthlink. After 7 years, my modem failed. I have an old Speedstream 5100 modem that works, but it is configured for SBC Global. If I use the address: 192.168.0.1 on the modem, it takes me to an SBC & Efficient Networks page. The page provides information on:
  • Connection Info
    • User ID (old account)
    • Connected Data
    • IP Adress
    • IP Gateway
    • Mode
  • Modem Info
    • Modem Name
    • Model
    • Serial Number
    • Software Version
    • MAC Address
There are also [Disconnect] and [Restart Modem] buttons.


Earthlink has been no help (which is unfortunately typical). Can I reconfigure this modem to connect to Earthlink?

Please be patient with me if I do not get back to replies promptly. I am left using library computers for internet connection, and am unable to get to the library every day.
