| 1177423 | 2011-02-12 09:35:00 | Sounds like the Router settings are incorrect for the telstra cable. VPI and VCI, are used for ADSL, not in a cable setup. All you need to have is the IP address Telstra gave you and DNS servers. These are made up IP address's IP address 121.23.781.598 <<<<<--Made up Subnet 255.0.0.0 <<<<<<<<---------REAL Gateway 121.23.781.1 <<<<<<<- Made up, but notice the same except the last number is correct. These are real: DNS servers: 203.96.152.4 Secondary 203.96.152.12 I would post a picture of my cable settings, with my IP not showing -- But I forgot the damn password for the router ---OOPS :D:o Its in the box in the workshop. Edited: OK remembered it -- Mines a netgear but you'll get the gist of it. Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 1177424 | 2011-02-12 19:09:00 | Hi - thanks for the replies. I still cannot connect the router to the modem. I am not sure if the SRP527W - which says it is a Services Ready Platform - ADSL2+ + Annex A is actually able to take the feed from the cable modem into the WAN/LAN port then be used. All the fields in the setup have been confirmed but it still asks for type of ADSL connection so I am thinking the WAN configuration is only setting up the DSL in not the WAN/LAN port. I guess this goes back to the issue if the SRP527W can actually take the cable feed. This is very frustrating. Thanks for the replies to date. | saus (16230) | ||
| 1177425 | 2011-02-12 20:54:00 | If the drop down box is not giving a Static IP option, without the VCI etc, then its more than likely a ADSL router only - which wont work on Telstra cables Modem. The thing thats a bit confusing is the port 4, being a WAN and forth port. Some routers have the option to handle ADSL and Cable, others just ADSL or Cable. There is a difference between the two. able to take the feed from the cable modem into the WAN/LAN port then be used. If the Internet is working Via the WAN port - its acting as a switch, not a router. |

| 1177426 | 2011-02-12 21:01:00 | Thanks Wainuitech - that is what I am thinking now. it appears to only give the options with the VCI either automatically selected or manually defined. Looks like the credit card is about to take a hit | saus (16230) | ||
| 1177427 | 2011-02-12 21:06:00 | Can you provide a screen shot of the settings/Page RFC1483 Bridged ethernet over ATM. I dont have a Cisco Router to look , and the manual is not exactly complete. You can upload it http://www.imagef1.net.nz/ |

| 1177428 | 2011-02-13 02:35:00 | Attached is the RFC screen shot.Screen shot (www.imagef1.net.nz). The ATM PC is automatic as I cannot find an option with out the PVC. Cheers for your help | saus (16230) | ||
| 1177429 | 2011-02-13 02:41:00 | Hmmmmmmmmm if you use the static option, then fill in the details from telstra, set the Computer to automatic, Making sure the cable from the modem goes to the WAN, then the Computer plugs into 1-3 ports, it looks like it it should work ? Mind you dont know what other settings there are. |

| 1177430 | 2011-02-13 03:03:00 | yep - i think it is beating me. if i can get the answer that it should work then maybe paying a tech who knows Cisco may save me buying a 300 buck box that i may not need. Cheers | saus (16230) | ||
| 1177431 | 2011-02-13 04:26:00 | yep - can connect from the computer to the router but not futher. I am going to completely reset the whole system and see what happens. by what you are saying it should work. Cheers | saus (16230) | ||
| 1177432 | 2011-02-13 05:18:00 | by what you are saying it should work No Not always. Never had to put in any Cisco Routers. Most people (residential customers) dont want to speed the extra price the Cisco's are. That particular one you have retails at over $300. The ones I normally Sell are Asus or Netgear. I Was just looking at the settings, and going by other brands it looks like it would work. But since its stating ADSL, then I suspect it wont. The WAN port may be used if a ADSL modem was attached, not a cable modem. |
