| 131541 | 2003-03-30 01:07:00 | Well then Big John, my answer to floyds was correct after all . The question was: "do I dial in like a normal 56k modem?" The answer to that is quite clearly No . You can only "dial in" using a telephone number . However, floyds does need to know that a specific action may be required to "connect" as opposed to the plug in and go applicable to external routers . It is advisable to check the original question before discounting previous answers as too many needless contraditions simply confuse people more . Floyds' was a simple question that only needed a simple answer . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

However, floyds Rubish. The is a number but is just not numerical. It is alphabetical as in username/password. As I answered he may have to go to his network connections and force it to "DIAL". Now I am not talking actually dialing a number but the action is still the same. Your reply implied that the connection was on all the time and he did not need this which may or may not be true depending on his modem and/or setup. Hopefully by now he has got it worked out and running. |

| 131544 | 2003-03-30 07:59:00 | Careful Big John with your semantics, as your post is rapidly approaching "rubbish" that you (misguidedly) accuse Billy T of writing. :) Firstly Billy Ts post didnt imply the connection was on all the time, and secondly an alpha is not a numeric. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 131545 | 2003-03-30 08:17:00 | floyds, based on my own experience, the DSL light should be on, irrespective of you being logged on or not. If you have no DSL light, then either Telecom have not enabled the service on your line, or you are too far from the Telecom exchange to receive the signal reliably, or something is still connected to your phone line without a filter (such as outside bells) which is reducing the sinal level. My experience relates to an Alcatel external router/modem. As soon as the ADSL signal was enabled by Telecom, my ADSL "Line Synch" stopped flashing and came up solid. The indicator of ADSL signal being present will not be dependent on your being logged in. |
