| 451331 | 2006-05-02 02:53:00 | I have got a PC and a laptop running windows XP. I have Xtra broadand installed and running. I have just bought a wireless router and wireless card for the laptop. I am planning on plugging the PC directly into the LAN router port via Cat5 and connect the laptop to the router wirelessly. I have got the wireless netork set-up OK and the laptop can see the the router but from here im a little bit stuck. Does Xtra support PPPoE and if it does, does this mean all i have to do is enter my username and password into the router WAN settings?. Or do i have to configure the router to PPPoA and enter the IP adress, DNS address and Gateway address? On the LAN side of things do i have to enable DHCP and the go to TCP/IP settings in windows and ensure obtain IP and DNS automatically is selected?? If i do have to enter the addresses manually does anyone know what they are? The router does not have a modem, i am going to use the existing d-ling 302G Im a little confused, hopefully ythis makes some sense! The router (cant remeber the model) didn't have too much info! Thanks |

| 451333 | 2006-05-02 03:15:00 | Sorry, dont know what the name/model of the wireless router is, eek!! I thought that the adsl modem plugged straight into the WAN port (there is 1 wan port a 4 x LAN ports). The wireless router does have a web based interface allowing config. for the LAN and WAN. I have not changed any settings on the DLink modem |

| 451334 | 2006-05-02 03:23:00 | Xtra is PPPoA with VPi/VCI of 0/100, just put in your users account as username.xadsl@xtra.co.nz & password Edit - sorry disregard my post, didnt read entirely Edit 2, what does the manual say, i believe the modem should be connected to the WAN port |
