I tried with the splitter on and the ATT modem does the same thing - it signals it's on, it brings up my homepage, and then it then starts blinking red and I can't access anything, no mail, no internet. Odd - it will bring up my Google page but nothing else and no more Google after the first time. They may have given me a bad broadband cord there, I guess.
