OK, I finally just went and cleared the cache in Chrome and that did the trick. . . forgot to start with the simplest thing first.

Thanks! Sounds like a pretty simple way to accomplish exactly what I was thinking...

I was thinking the CL modem would still be functioning as normal (on 192.168.0.254) but just its upstream connection would be changed to the new subnet on X6 - so in theory, the phones wouldn't even know that their traffic was being re-routed out through the other ISP connection along with the rest of the LAN. I thought…

I suppose I could just reset it to factory default. . . I don't think it is doing anything fancy besides internet access, but I don't really know for sure.

If I drop the 215 in as the gateway for the phones, without reconfiguring them & the phone system (which I am hoping to avoid - not sure I can) it will need to…

As long as the Sonicwall can do NAT from two…

The Centurylink modem itself is not down, but their network is (or was for a while today, in this area. . .) And this is the second time in the last couple of months this has happened, so I am looking for a way to get their phones back up if/when it happens again. So the firewall cannot have more than one IP address on the…
