John

mine is a D-link 320T. I still assume that is a modem, I do not see
any firewall or DNS stuff.
But I forgot that any Save and reboot option (button) with this series
of D-link (same for wireless router) is not working if you connect by
Firefox (at least in Linux) but it is o.k. by Windows Explorer (so I
had to recconnect a Windows laptop to save settings and reboot modem):
I assumed to have settings for Ppoe but it was not true!!! Tnx for
help
