| 804375 | 2009-08-26 04:48:00 | I presently have a DLink DSL G604T ADSL connecting XTRA broadband and providing wireless to P Cs around the house. I have acquired a Netgear DG834G ADSL2 unit from a friend who had it going but who was sent a free Thomson unit which I installed for him. I set it up here, at home, and have got it going WPA around the house but am unable to connect to the XTRA homepage. The Help desk tells me a signal is going through and they can detect it.They are not interested in supporting me further because they did not supply it. Netgear have 0800 support at $40 [Australian?] and twice I waited 20 minutes or so unsuccessfully, to talk to a person. I have set the VCI 100 and VPI 0 and PPPoA VC. I have the XTRA 202 27 158 40 and 202 27 156 72. Can anyone give me the missing line? Please. |

| 804377 | 2009-08-26 07:39:00 | I also have this router. It took me a little bit of fiddling to set it up. Your settings are correct so far. I'm assuming you have used the wizard to set up the router. When I did that it took me so far then said it was ready (But it lied) :-) If you haven't already try logging into the router and check the "Basic" settings PS bloody nice router once it's working |

| 804379 | 2009-08-26 11:41:00 | Many thanks for assistance. It was working on my friend's XTRA connection before I acquired it; I should have noted the settings. As Capt Jimbo notes, the wizard only takes one some of the way with XTRA. Yes, it pings O K. Will proceed with your advice, blam6. |

| 804380 | 2009-08-26 11:54:00 | If you can ping the internet connection is fine. Could be your browser settings. Check that there is no proxy configured in IE/Firefox. Is xtra the only website you can't get to or can you not get to other websites either, www.google.co.nz? |

| 804381 | 2009-08-27 01:16:00 | My computer performs O K with the D-Link wireless router. The problem I have with the Netgear DG834G[when I swap over to it] is that the browser cannot find the host server. Basically what I am looking for is the correct settings to connect to the Xtra server. The Wizard only goes so far and then a manual entry is required. Someone out there must have a Netgear ADSL 2 router connected to the Xtra server? |

| 804382 | 2009-08-27 02:16:00 | I downloaded the manual. I have now made a successful connection. Thanks for all who gave me advice. | PENTIUM (426) | ||
