No I don't have a router. The Phone DSL plugs right into the modem and the CAT 5 line goes directly from the modem to my network card.
The Westell 6100 IS a router. If you go to 192.168.1.1, you can get to the configuration screen. From here you can check your settings, your modem/router picks up a DHCP IP address from verizon , then acts as a DHCP server itself to assign an IP address to your NIC.
Another common thing that prevents a connection, is under control panel/network connections/ Local Area Network/ properties - on the Authentication tab you DO NOT want "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" checked.
The stuff about a virus on your router is FLUFF - you do not have THAT kind of router - the westell 6100 does not have the processing capability or RAM to seriously contract a virus.

If you are entering this forum for the first time (or are checking back). See Bunjee's post #14 and brianmil0923 post #17 for what should be the fix for the RPC Server Unavailable problem.
Note: Although it was not explained, you need to enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of your browser. You will get prompted for a user name and password.
username: admin
password: admin or password
most of the screens will have a blue oblong 3d button. You will generally just click through these. I didn't write down the sequence of screens so I can't give a step by step. If you are a verizon customer, you can call 800-567-6789 and they can walk you through the screens. Call early though (before 9 am EST) otherwise you'll be on hold forever.
what you're aiming for is a "connection overview" screen with "PPP Status: Up".
I no longer have to use a PPPOE connection. Thanks again Bunjee and Brianmil0923.

I did mean to add the other day that I had also deleted my existing network connections and re-added them just incase some weird setting had gotten in there.

In order to set up your PPPOE connection (PPPOE means your connection depends on the main accts userid or username, and pass inside the connection), or DHCP in the router (Westell/Linksys/Dlink, other routers), you must have ok Int options and settings. Mainly, IE must be able to display 192.168.1.1. Prmpt for a login or show the page. If it shows page cant be displayed something is set wrong.
Lan needs to be Connected or enabled.
IF you go to start -->Run, type in CMD or command and hit ok, this brings up DOS. THis will show you if the PC "sees" the router. Type "ipconfig". Hit Ok. Default Gateway should be saying 192.168.1.1 if you're using hte westell. If its anything else, something is wrong.
Internet Options is under Tools in IE. In there its good to check the Connections tab. In here never dial a connection, and Lan Settings should be checked. In Lan Settings, once you hit the button a new page appears. Make sure nothing is checked. Nothing. Hit ok, go to advanced tab, hit Restore Defaults at the bottom, apply. Go to the General tab. Delete cookies. Delete Files, and check the all offline button before hitting ok. Make sure homepage at the top is a valid url (www.google.com or something else, not a url to a search engine or something you're not familiar with. If its set to netster or something else weird you probably have a spyware issue.)
The LAN in the Netwrk connections page needs to be connected, and it helps to make sure the properties are ok. Right click LAN, select properties. Highlight hte bottom: internet protocol tcp/ip, and select properties below it. Make sure these two dots are next to Obtain ip address automaticaly, and obtain dns servers automatically.
If the above is set true, there is no excuse for you to not be able to get into the router you are using. If you cant you have some pc type of issue.

Here's how I fixed my problem (I'm not taking credit for this, I actually found the solution on another site).
You must insure that the DHCP Client, DNC Client and RPC are all running.
This can be done by right clicking on My Computer, selecting Manage, selecting Services and Applications, then selecting Services.
You will see a long list of Services and their current status. If any of the three Services (DHCP Client, DNC Client and RPC) is not listed as Started and Automatic, double click that service, click Start and change the Start Up type to Automatic.
In my case the DHCP was not started and was set to System (for Start Up Type). As soon as clicked Start, the NIC retreived a IP address and the connection went from Acquiring a Network Address to Connected
Hope this helps others....
