Hi Folks
I'm ready to tear my hair out after two weeks of trying to get an ADSL connection. I applied for a self install 384kbps ADSL account. Within a few days Telkom phoned up and said everything was sorted. Being a bit surprised at Telkom's speed I rushed out and got a NetGear 834GT router.
When I got home, I set up the rather complicated filter, connected the power and fired everything up. I connected to the router, supplied the username and ID, and set the multiplexing method to LLC, VPI=8 and VCI=35 as recommended.
I checked the routers status windows, and it said it had negotiated and authenticated successfully and been given an IP address.
That's as good as it gets. I cannot get any actual data out the other side! Strangely enough, the router resolves the host name (ie the host name changes to an ip address in the browser status), but that's it. I cannot ping anything - it just time's out.
What I've tried:
different NetGear modem
router and ISP settings on another (work) ADSL line. Works fine
different ADSL account
