Try whatever I might I cant get the 3com router to connect to the 4100 modem. I've tried several known good ethernet cables without avail. I tried connecting the router to friends VM modem and the cable/dsl led lit up steady. Whatever I try when connecting to my own modem the led flicker a couple of times and then goes out.

Do I need a newer modem to wok with this router or am I missing something?

Thanks
