shell... pm me your adsl phone number and i'll check the line for ya... gotta make sure your line has adsl codes on it. and what type of modem do you have... coz its easy to set it up on OSX. you dont even need to run the cd unless you want the modem in router mode. if your happy to have your modem as bridged... then all you gotta do is set up your network prefs.

your line is all good shell...

hmm how is your modem connected?? USB or ethernet?

USB wont work on a Mac so you gotta connect thru your NIC

how many lights you got on your modem?

[Aurora]

It's too easy Shell, i'll PM you the setup stuff when i get to work. Failing that i can pop by after work one night.

[Aurora]

Ah stuff it, i'll type it up from memory.

Mac OSX up to 10.2.8

SETUP:

From wall socket -> Modem, run a phone cable, either through the filter/splitter, or straight from the wall.

All other phones in the house need the Filters attached to them.

Run the Grey CAT5 cable from the 530 to the MAC into your Built in Ethernet. This cable looks like a phone cable, but a bit larger, has clear ends.

CONFIG:

Once plugged in, and the modem is powered.

Click the Apple Menu -> System Prefs -> Network.

Select 'Built In Ethernet' from the 'Show' menu.

Click the PPPoE tab.

Fill in these fields, 'Bigpond' as the 'provider', your username in the Account name field, followed by @bigpond. (if e.g. shelly@bigpond), password in the password field.

Tick the 'Show PPP status in menu bar' box.

Click on the TCP/IP tab. In the 'Search Domain' box, put in nsw.bigpond.net.au

Click Apply now. Close the Network Config window.

Now, open Internet Connect either from the Dock/Status in the menu bar, or through the Mac HD in the Applications folder. Change the 'Configuration' box to 'Built in Ethernet' if need be. Click connect. If all goes well, Connect will change to Disconnect, and you're away.

See if that works.

[ed R34]

will also work on OS 10.3(panther as they call it)

[Shell]

Ewen you legend for typing all that out!

Fill in these fields, 'Bigpond' as the 'provider', your username in the Account name field, followed by @bigpond. (if e.g. shelly@bigpond), password in the password field.

when i type in my password (4 digits) and click apply, it changes it to something (dunno what!!) with 8 digits???

Now, open Internet Connect

the password in here shows up as 4 digits...i hit connect...get an "authentification failed"

and my modem icon in the dock still looks like this (pic attached)... which I'm sure is supposed to mean there's something wrong with phone line connection...

i followed exactly what u said Ewen, I haven't got the USB plug in, and i've got 3 of the 4 lights happening on the modem....dunno what the hell i'm doing wrong!! damn this blonde hair LOL

[Aurora]

Are you using 10.3 Shell? or 10.2.8 and earlier?

It may be changing to 8 digits as a security feature. The Alcatel modems do it as well.

[ed R34]

why is your pwd 4 digits??

have you already changed the pwd?

wat happened to the pwd that bigpond provided to you?

make sure the username has "username@bigpond"

wats your username.. acct may be disabled...

[Shell]

Ewen i'm only running 10.1.5... furthest i could go with free upgrades cos my iMac is a few years old now.

Ed... i don't get what you mean? my password has always been 4 digits with my bigpond dial-up...should they have given me a new password for adsl?? And i don't think the account is disabled cos they're charging me for it!! i went on a 24 mnth contract when i signed up.

aaargh it's all to confusing...Ewen, you're gonna havta come & help me!!

[Aurora]

Okay, when you received your Self Install Kit, you would have also received an email confirmation that had your new ADSL username and password in it. Different from your dial up one. If you ring 133933 they can tell you/reset for you, the password and tell you your username, just to confirm it. But if that's still not working, i'll pop round and see what can be done.

[ed R34]

Shell... looks like thats your prob there.. your username and pwd..

you would have been given a new username and pwd for adsl... if you didnt get it then call that number ewen gave you... then you should be connected..your dial up username and pwd are not valid with adsl.

Something not to do with your connection.. im coming down today... anyone gonna be at work? be there prolli bout 3 or 4 ish... i'll drop by teletech anyway

[Aurora]

Nah, not at work.

Will be Sunday.
