a new and different dsl modem

a new and different dsl modem

[Jude DaShiell]

The old westell 2200 modem managed to get lost or stolen I can't be 
certain.  I took it to a volunteer organization that can do equipment 
testing among other things and it got lost or stolen there.  If stolen, I 
view that in the same way I view someone who steals a Bible, they must 
really need it and I hope they get all they deserve out of it.  I will be 
reimbursed for the loss since before the loss a technician took 
responsibility for the equipment.  The new dsl modem I have now is an 
actiontech gateway router modem dual combo with ability to work wirelessly 
or through conventional ethernet connections.  I'll be using conventional 
ethernet connections since I have no wireless cards and don't especially 
trust wireless security.  I did get a braille copy of the numbers to set 
up wireless and the modem's mac id and serial number all the stuff on the 
outside of the box so I'll have that option at some future date.  Is 
windows needed to do the first install of these modems or can adsl-setup 
and adsl-start and dhcpcd handle the job?

It's not the same model, but I've set up a couple of DSL modems just with a 
browser.  Try connecting to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and see what you get. 
If it's initial DSL service, you also have to go to an activation page at 
the ISP's site.  But, since you already had service, I expect you just have 
to configure the new DSL modem.

You will need windows to use the html interface.  elinks reports several
javascript errors when I've tried.  Use the non-windows setup, make sure you are
set to pppoe or pppoa or dhcp ( this is dhcp for the outside connection) for
your connection to the isp.  Type in your username and password.  The vpi and
vsi numbers need to be set for your isp in the advanced configuration if they
aren't already.  Never used the adsl-setup so cannot tell you.

Re: a new and different dsl modem

[randy turner]

if it is the 2 wire sbc router
the page for the router is http://192.168.1.254
it works very well with links.
in the case of there register site i had a friend go up to there site
and register me with them,
for a strange reason dhcpcd has to be run at the last to make it find
the right dns .

so far sbc dsl is working pretty good
