I got the ethernet device activated by putting in 192.168.123.10 for address, 192.168.123.20 for subnet, and 192.168.123.254 for gateway. I can ping 192.168.123.254. However, the light on the router still doesn't light up. I tried configuring a DSL connection, setting it up for DHCP, but couldn't get it to activate. The connection failed. "system-config-network" gave up this:
/sbin/adsl-start: line 217: 4723 terminated
$ CONNECT "$@">/dev/null 2>&1
It doesn't seem to be picking up the router. Is there a Linux driver that needs to be installed for this(USR 8054 wireless router)? Thanks again for your help, mucho appreciated!!

(why not copy+paste?)
But if it's set up as I think it is:
( internet )
|
[DSL/cable modem]
|
[USR router]
|
[Fedora machine]
then set the Fedora machine to a static address (IP address=192.168.123.x,
gateway=192.168.123.254) until you get the router configured. Make sure
the router runs a DHCP client on its WAN side (so it gets an IP address
from Verizon) and a DHCP server on its LAN side (so you get an IP addres
from it). Actually, any machine on your LAN can run a DHCP server (or
you can use static addresses on all the machines), but that's the easiest.
Once you get the router fixed up, you can use DHCP. Most likely, it will
take whatever address Verizon assigns to it for its WAN side, and its LAN
side will be in the 192.168.123.0/24 subnet, and it'll use IP
Masquerading aka Network Address Translation between them.
Fedora does appear to use IPv6, and it looks like that coexists with IPv4.
IPv6 may be extra overhead, if nothing else needs it.
