| 131532 | 2003-03-28 03:52:00 | Have you hooked your ADSL modem correctly? Are you sharing the phone jack with a phone? If you are, check you have the order of filters/phone and modem plugs the right way around. Try removing any filters/double adapters and plug the modem line in by itself. Does this make the DSL led light up? | Jen C (20) | ||
| 131533 | 2003-03-28 04:50:00 | no dsl light lights up, just the power and lan? | floyds (3095) | ||
| 131534 | 2003-03-28 05:01:00 | OK, time to call Telecom (123) and see whether their records show that ADSL has been enabled on your line yet. | Jen C (20) | ||

Not quite correct. If you have a ADSL modem on your PC you will have to make it dial just like a normal modem. However if you have an external router with an ADSL you can set it to auto connect when required and never drop the connection. This means you dont have to worry. Not sure if you can do the same with an internal ADSL modem but my mates you have to make it connect. |

While it is correct for Xtra it is not for paradise and probably other ISP's. Paradise is just name@paradise.net.nz and the password is your normal password you used with the standard dialup. Wrong information is worse than no information at all. |

| 131538 | 2003-03-29 05:06:00 | Ah well, we're not perfect Big John. That's life I guess, sometimes the Cavalry arrives too late to save the day and the only thing left to do is bayonet the wounded. Funny thing though, I had a 3Com ethernet/USB modem before I bought my router and although I had to make it connect to start each session, I don't recall having to supply a phone number to access my Xtra account, just a logon & password. The line to the exchange was always live so there was nothing to dial. Can you comment on this or is it just my failing memory? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

With my internal I have the option to have it either way - connect on demand (which I usually do - it takes less than 5 seconds) or connect whenever pc is booted. |

You don't give it a phone number but you do have to make it connect in most cases. It is the same as a dialup it just doesn't have a phone number. However as noted some can be set to auto connect and stay connected all the time but this usually has to be done when you set it up the first time. Need to read the instructions that come with the modem as they tell you how to do it and what needs doing. At least all the good ones do. My router was just plug it in, give my user name and password and hit the connect button in the web page. Further setup in the web page meant I could set it to connect as needed and leave connected all the time or disconnect after xx minutes of no data transfer. |
