Changing to the fixed IP Address seems to have worked. I never had any problems until the firmware update 2-3 weeks ago. I have had U-Verse for a little over a year.  I just wish that when they are going to do a firmware update that may change settings that they give us a warning and tell us where to look to fix possible problems.

Thanks for your help!  Hope this "sticks" and the next firmware update doesn't change anything again! :-)
