| 441895 | 2006-03-30 02:43:00 | Has anybody had any trouble with . . . Dlink DSL 504g modems . We had one stop working a couple of weeks ago . The lights were all on, but no internet . The tech guy came, checked it out, decided it was bad . It got replaced, no worries . Three days after getting the new one, same thing . One minute, it is sweet, the next it's not . The lights are all on, no internet . The 10 . 1 . 1 . 1 page says it's connected, but no internet . It's so frustrating, almost elbow dropped it . It happening the second time got me to wondering if maybe it was something to do with my computer . It's a Mac running 10 . 1 . 5 using Xtra broadband . Anybody with ideas or suggestions . |

| 441896 | 2006-03-30 02:46:00 | These are the free modems Xtra give yes, I have a few friends who have had issues with them. They dont talk to Telecom Radius Server either. Cheap equipment I reckon. Are you losing the connection to the modem or actually losing the connection between modem and internet. |

| 441897 | 2006-03-30 03:08:00 | I can get into the Xtra setup pages on the modem, so the connection with the modem is there . It just doesn't go any further . When you click a link the port light flashes once, but no more . On a working one it flashes the whole time something is downloading . |

| 441898 | 2006-03-30 03:18:00 | I had a problem with one I got. Turned out to be a simple issue of the ethernet cable having a dodgy connection to the socket in the back of the computer. Replaced it with a cable of my own and presto - works like a charm. The problem was intermittent. So, try exerting a bit of finger pressure on the connection and see if that helps. |

| 441899 | 2006-03-30 03:26:00 | Yeah, tried everything along those lines. Jiggled cables, reset computer & modem. No dice. | posse (10097) | ||
| 441900 | 2006-03-30 03:34:00 | The tech guy came, checked it out, decided it was bad . It got replaced, no worries . Three days after getting the new one, same thing . One minute, it is sweet, the next it's not . Well, try again . Maybe the two duds in that production batch got to you . ;) Or maybe the wind blowing your phone line onto the 33kV power line doesn't do modems any good . :cool: |

The poster stated connection to modem fine, therefore nothing to do with the ethernet cable!. PS: I have the Gainward 6600GT AGP, you could talk me into selling!? |

| 441903 | 2006-03-30 04:19:00 | Have you tried upgrading the modem's firmware or drivers? | Mada (248) | ||
| 441904 | 2006-03-30 04:22:00 | Dont think you can do that, Xtra have there own firmware flashed on them. I tried with the manufacturers rom and turned mine into a brick!!!.....LOL |
