Help with connecting my lynkys router to my SBC DSL.?

I have connected everything just like the CD instructed but when I go to test my connection it says it cannot connect. My DSL light than becomes blinking red and green. Everything appears connected is there something in the set up that should be different I followed the default settings. Should I have used static isp instead of the DSL with name and password? Please help. Thank You

make sure you are using the PPOE option instead of dynamic and make sure your login name is correct.

Almost certainly NOT a static IP with SBC, unless you paid extra for one. Depending on where you live, you are either connecting via PPPoE (user name and password) or DHCP (automatic). The fact that you have a blinking red/green light on the modem is likely a clue. Are you sure you hooked the cable from the WAN port on the router to the modem?

Ensure that you have the correct username and password as supplied by your ISP.

Also, ensure you have the correct cable plugged in to the "WAN" port on the router.

No, your DSL will likely have a dynamic IP address (unless you paid for a static)
