So I setup the modem to work in bridge mode and disabled dhcp but I
am still having problems. Windows update gets all the way to the
download step and hangs there. I can get to my online banking through
quicken but not through the secure webpage.

The FAQ page from the previous post was helpful but the web interface
of my modem is very different from the one listed there and I can't be
sure if I got everything the same.
