The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

ADSL Router setup Problem with BT Yahoo Broadband

Asked by GordonMasson in Broadband Internet

Tags: bt, router, settings, broadband

Hi

I have a BT yahoo connection that has been active for a year but i have bought a new PC and an ADSL router and wanted to use this rather than the ADSL modem i received from BT.

The router is a net-lynx 4 port ADSL ethernet router which has Conexant software / hardware (?) in it.

My understanding is that i should connect 1 of the 4 ethernet ports on the router directly to the pc rather than use the USB connection.

I have done this and i can access the router via a browser page by selecting http://10.0.0.2  

I talked to BT who say they dont support the router (!!!) and they told me i need to configure it with the following settings.

Authentication            CHAP
VPI                  0
VCI                  38
Encapulation            VC MUX
Modulation                  G.DMT
Encapsulation Protocol      PPPoA

I have set this up and also entered my username and password for BTYahoo

The routers ADSL light comes on and the 1x light which is the port the PC is connected to comes on.

from what i can see, it would apear that the IP address, gateway and subnet are not being assigned values ... i think they all remain at 0.0.0.0 but i believe that this should hapen automaticaly and the router should find the Internet automaticaly.

None of this is happening and any help to get me going would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Gordon
