Hi,
Firstly I've looked at all other related links on this site about b-band and networking, and am still stupified.
I've been using an Eircom supplied Netopia modem without trouble but wanted to connect a new laptop that I bought using wi-fi.
So basically I wanted to connect the new modem/router to a desktop, and then be able to use the laptop which has a wifi card with the net as well as fileshare, etc.
Problem is I started at 9 this morning and am nearly bald from pulling my hair out.
I've configured the new modem with the correct
username/password obtained from Eircom, my phone no./b-band acc. no.
VPI/VCI/Encapsulation/Multiplexing settings 8/35/PPoE/LLC
Primary DNS NO.
Seconadary DNS No.
What ADSL mode is used by Eircom? I asked their help line- no joy, assuming its Annex A.
But still I'm having no luck, the laptop and router recognise each other, but I'm unable to gain internet access on either desktop or laptop.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm going ga-ga.
Thanks,
Rob
