2wire wireless router problems
I have a 2wire wireless router from gateway which was set to the PPOE configuration, but after switching from ATT DSL to Time Warner Cable DSL i found that i needed to reconfigure it to the DHCP or "Bridge Mode" I have tried a bunch of different forums and have looked at online manuals which has proved invaluable to my situation. I have barely any knowledge of the software or hardware. If someone knows how to do it please let me know.
Thank you for your help.

Many of the ISP supplied modem/router models are customized for the specific ISP. If you got the 2WIRE from AT&T, chances are good that it won't work for Time Warner.

You mention "cable DSL", what is that. I thought Time Warner offered standard cable service. If that's what you have, the DSL modem is totally incompatible with that service. Does your "cable DSL" connect with the coax cable that also feeds the TV's? If so, you need a DOCSIS modem, not a DSL modem.

sorry i entered that incorrectly. it is time warner cable, not cable DSL, my bad so there is no chance in changing it from a PPOE to a DHCP config? cuz they told me that was all i had to do, but they didn't have the "tools" to do that configuration, so i was hoping someone out there would.

No chance at all! They're totally different kinds of interfaces. I'm assuming this is the 2WIRE DSL gateway that is a modem/router in one unit, right? That's what ISP's normally provide.
