hi mates,

I'm astounded by the 40gb /month deal?!!! I have DSL in the south-eastern US, North Carolina (and I'm out in the sticks, mostly cattle around here)... I pay about $44.00 / month for 972gb / month download. The difference is astounding, is it because of inferior cabling or just greedier companies? I can't believe it's the cabling, because our wiring around here has been here for about 80 years, most of it. Hell, alot of the time we have trouble getting dial tones for POTS (plain old telephone systems) lines; now granted they've been replacing the main trunks over the last 20 years or so, but most of the "to the curb" stuff is the same old wiring, only the mainlines have been upgraded to fibre. I thought that the country that brought us FARSCAPE, the greatest TV SCI-FI show ever! would be years ahead of us here in the carolinas.... I think that the phone companies are overcharging you guys because of limited competition, or just plain old greed! best wishes and lots of luck in lower those jerks prices... Orionway@bellsouth.net

ok people,

when you hook up a router to a modem, the modem (dsl) should FIRST be changed to BRIDGED mode... see the router needs to be in charge of logging you in to the ISP... originally the modem was doing that, but with a router hooked up, the modem should only be a dumb box and let the router do the loggin in. Now, I'm not familiar with the particular modems that SBC yahoo is using, but it really doesn't matter, just follow these steps...(BEFORE HOOKING UP THE ROUTER, WHILE THE MODEM IS STILL DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PC VIA ethernet cable!!!!)

1. click on start, run and enter CMD and hit the enter key
2. type in IPCONFIG /ALL and hit the enter key
3. write down the ip address of the DEFAULT GATEWAY (this is the ip address for the modem)
4. close the cmd window by clicking on the X in the upper right corner
5. start internet explorer (or whatever browser you use)
6. type in the ip address that you wrote down above, usually in the format of 192.168.1.x and hit enter
7. there will be a setting somewhere on this web page that contains the entry PPPOE, change it to BRIDGED
8. be sure to save the changes, there's probably a SAVE CHANGES or similar button at the bottom of the page
9. power off your modem for at least 1 minute, just unplug the power cable
10. while the modem is off, unplug the ethernet cable from your PC and hook it up between the modem and the linksys router (or whatever brand you have), be sure the ethernet cable is connected between the modem and the router using the INTERNET ports (labeled as such) on the backs of the two boxes (there should only be one place to connect the cable on the back of the modem anyway)
11. now, hook up another ethernet cable between the computer and the router
12. turn the modem back on
13. start internet explorer
14. type in 192.168.1.1 and hit enter, (if that doesn't bring up the routers config web page, then you don't have a linksys router and you should try, 192.168.1.254)
15. change the routers setting to PPPOE and enter in your login and password info, then be sure to save the changes
16. power off the router for about 1 min and then power it back on
17. start internet explorer and you should be online, forever and ever and ever...

enjoy

PS. if you have any trouble, just try unplugging the power for both modem and router for at least 1 minute and the turn the modem back on, and then the router back on, that will prob fix it, if you followed the instructions above... good luck

[QUOTE=orionway]ok people,

Hi there,
following are the modems which sbc provides:
ss5260, ss5360, ss5100a, ss5100b( has five lights ), siemens4100 ( has five lights ),
only the ss5100b and the siemens4100 need to be put on bridge mode...
Even if we got these modem's the connection can work without putting the modem on bridge, we just need to make shure while configuring the router make shure that the router is set to " DHCP " or " obtain an ip address automatically ", save the settings and every thing should be up and running, if we follow this we can save some valuable time in setting up the network.... for any more clarifications post replies

I've set up 3 routers in less than six months with 2wire and I find Netgear and Dlink hard to work with. Motorola is the best router, IMO.

Okay here's how to bridge your 2wire 1070-b to any router:

• 1. Connect the 2wire modem directly to a computer with a cable.
  o Go to »homeportal/management or http://gateway.2wire.net/management or 192.168.0.1
  o Click on Configure Under Broadband link
  o Put dot in Disable PVC Search
  o Set VPI to 0 and VCI to 35 (depends on service provider may be 8/35, 5/32, etc). default 0 38
  o Connection Type should say Direct IP
  o Click Submit
  o Click on Configure Services
  o Uncheck Enable Routing
  o Click Submit

If using software version 3.7 or higher you will need to Disable PVC Search and manually enter appropriate PVC info e.g. VPI 0 and VCI 35.

Okay here's how to setup your new router:

• 1. Connect the router directly to a computer with a cable.
  2.Go to your browser, any browser but IE works best.
  3. Open a web browser and log into the router (192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.net for Netgear). It may ask you for a username and password. Default username = admin. Default password = password or 1234.
  4. Fill in the blanks like what you see in this picture below, which is nothing but your DNS server and username password. If you don't know your DNS # get it here at Dslreport.com.

5. Now open your browser and begin surfing. If this doesn't work for you then return your router and get a new brand. It's not worth the hassle of calling tech support, they've got me nowhere. Netgear won't help you till you register (that's ridiculous.) Plus, Netgear is the slowest of the few I've tested.

Not sure what kind of router you're all using but hopefully this will explain some of the details.

ARGH nothings working I made it work I dont know how with the www.linksys.com/check but then I tried to put a WEP code and everything messed up I need help please I cant get the router to work. I need specific step by step with 2 wire 1070b and linksys wireless g router. please please help me

hi everyone! I'm finally back once more, and feeling moons better knowing it wasn't all my fault for the bumps and glitches with SBC DSL. I had the speedstream with a Linksys router. I must have reset and reconfigured a connection a bizzilion times. I would call for tech support and the "droid" on the SBC end would say that I had a dial-up connection! I had to keep on them to change it to DSL since that was what I was paying for....they'd correct it.....then sure as xxxx it was reverted to dial-up again. I've had this for two years. I recently went to the two wire, ($20.00 less on my phone bill package!) and set up our network and connection in no time flat. What a pleasant surprise. I didn't connect the Lynksys router because that was where I had problems. I had started out not knowing a thing about routers, internet connections, etc. I know they say practice makes perfect, but I would have rather practiced for some other reason besides crashes, disconnects and just plain lousy products. Besides that, it was a bang-up learning experience.
