You need to answer question 6 to get an answer to your firewall problems.

If there's no other brand or model on the modem, you could ring Shaw & ask them.

it says terayon at the modem thing.. does that help

it says terayon on the modem and i think the model name is artestyn


by the way i tried http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml following the steps but still there is a brick

From what I've seen on Google, Artesyn make power supplies. So that won't be the model. Have a look on the modem again (underneath too), the model might have letters & numbers together.

i think the model name is SSL20 - 7660 any help...??
