Just make sure that you IP address is in the same range ie 192.168.1.2 or something close which he says it is. Make sure that the firewall stuff of XP is turned off. You should be able to ping 192.168.1.1 and get a reply. If not then your PC or cabling is at fault. If you can then simple type in the address in IE and it should take you in. It took me all of 2 minutes to get it set up and working. |

| 97989 | 2002-11-12 19:21:00 | Just to let you know that the network cable that comes with the RTA210 router is a straight-through cable i.e. for connecting directly to a PC. (Well the 4 that I have installed did!) If you have it plugged into a hub you have to use the uplink port or if your hub doesn't have one you need to get a crossover cable. |

| 97990 | 2002-11-12 23:36:00 | Whoops, Was thinking of the wrong one. You will need to plug into the uplink port or use a cross over cable in the normal port. | Big John (551) | ||
| 97991 | 2002-11-13 07:42:00 | Tried to use the crossover this afternoon and could access the configuration web page without any problem. Thanks. However, there are so many setting to be configured and we don't really know what to enter into those blank spaces. There are just too many to be mentioned here. Nothing has been mentioned about those details in the 'Quick Installation Guide'. Is there any where we can download the set up details? We phoned dynalink nz's support 0800 number but no one was available to answer the call and we left a message for them to phone us back but nothing happens until now. We also sent an email to them yesterday afternoon and got a reply (email) saying that they are very busy at the moment requested us to call him back! We phoned and again, connected to the answer-phone! It seems like they are play 'hide and seek' with us!? I don't think I'll recommend any one else to buy Dynalink ADSL modem, at least this model - RTA 210, I don't know about other models. I ever set up a Nokia 500 router before and it was a breeze. Just insert in the supplied CD and within a minute, the router is ready to use. The only user input required is the user name and password! What a difference! |

| 97992 | 2002-11-13 09:35:00 | Most things are set up as default. All you need to do is put your login name and password on the correct screen. You should have gotten a quick start guide with the router and this has all the info you should need. There simply was not much to it. I would explain it in detail but I am at work at the mo and my docs are at home. Give me a yell if you want the info and I will get it once I finish work tomorrow morning. |

| 97993 | 2002-12-09 03:18:00 | All that needed doing was this. Go into tcp/ip and set your computers ip address to 192.168.1.2 then put the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 enter the default gateway as 192.168.1.1 and enter the dns numbers as given to you by your isp. Then open up internet explorer type in 192.168.1.1 and you are prompted for username and password which are in the quick setup guide. You then go to wan - atmp pvc and enter the vpi as 0 and vci as 100 and enter your username and password and click on submit, then save configuration and then thats it? I didnt think it was very hard and I found the support guys excellent there. I talked to a friend who knows people there and they only have a two guys on tech support so they are very busy but will always get back to you if you leave a message. otherwise contact ryan there on ryan@dynalink.co.nz and he'll help you. |
