Line Syncing but no ADSL!

Thanks RSnow.

Got my DSL working last night. I took the router into the office for the day and got it working on our line here. Think I may have got one setting wrong - it was defaulting to static IP and needed to be set to dynamic (obviously). Anyway, not sure if that was what was causing the problem but it connected without a problem when I tried it at home.

Just out of interest, my downstream attenuation at 384K is 56dB which is supposedly borderline for stability but I haven't had any issues - my throughput on a download was averaging 40KB = 320Kb which is 83% of the spec'd rate. Looks like the attenuation value reported by the router might be inaccurate as I understand the attenuation is related to connection speed and distance from exchange and I'm sure I'm under 1KM from the exchange (could be wrong though).

Did you take a self-installation option?

I've heard of a lot of cases lately where people take self-installation and it takes ages for their line to still be activated. It seems that once you are sync'ing and hooked up to a port there's still some other level of activation that needs to be performed.

Call Telkom.

rofl, if u take self-install , and telkom phones 2 say the lines is actived.
and u hook up you router it sync's gets ip, but u can do anything. U must activated your line this.. go to www.telkom.co.za/verify . there you will enter your landline number the adsl line is on and your Ref number that telkom gave u when u ordered the line. once done that your line will b activated. so dont wait days until it becomes active.
