| 290617 | 2004-11-11 08:14:00 | Has anyone first hand experience of one of these? Any hooks in setting up the modem and assigning network IP addresses etc? | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 290621 | 2004-11-11 10:22:00 | I have one. Very easy to set up. Just follow some simple instruction from your ISP if you don't know what to do. I'll post some here: After hooking it up: 1) Log on - User name = 'admin', password = 'epicrouter' 2) Go to 'WAN Configuration' 3) If it asks, select Virtual Circuit 0 4) Input this in: VPI = 0 VCI = 100 Encapsulation = PPPoA [LLC] Username = [provided by isp] Password = [self explanatory] PS. Never broken or gone down on me. HTH Cheers George |

| 290622 | 2004-11-11 11:01:00 | I've got one (although the one with 4 port switch builtin), does the trick. The only problem i've run into is that there is a limit of 20 port forwarding address. Which is a pain when you have a few machines running on a network but for that price you can't really complain - David |

| 290623 | 2004-11-11 18:42:00 | Thanks folks. Our local PC shop stocks the Puretek brand, also Dynalink RTA220 etc. I'm being asked to advise on an ADSL modem, and the budget may be limited. I would prefer the Dynalink, as mine has been 100% reliable, and is so easy to set up. It is a school with limited IT knowhow. There is an existing network of 3 Win 98 computers, each with a dial up modem, using Netbeui for file sharing and having fixed IP addresses 192.168.0.x and 255.255.255.0 subnet, and connected through an ethernet switch. As well as networked printer, there is a networked copier using IP-P2P, which I dont know anything about. From the scrappy user manual I was able to download, the modem default address is 10.0.0.2 and 255.0.0.0 subnet mask. I would have been happier keeping the existing network and IP addresses, and just add the modem gateway address into the network TCP/IP/ethernet card properties setup. If I have to change the network settings entirely, well, it's not my setup, I dont want to cause a meltdown so that they are out of action for longer than necessary :) |

| 290624 | 2004-11-11 18:56:00 | Oh yes, most important. The microprinted rubbishy manual indicates that DHCP is used with automatic IP address allocation, I was wondering whether fixed IP addresses can be allocated, or whether it is better to go the auto way. As is usual, the biggest job involved is tidying up the 3 computers, clearing out the rubbish, extensive housekeeping, and updating IE/OE etc. Also a firewall should be installed. I couldnt find any reference to a hardware firewall in the Puretek 'manual', well nothing I could understand as a firewall. |
