<title>Help for those trying to turn 2wire 2700HG-B to bridge mode</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20836264</link>
<description><![CDATA[I wanted to do this because I have a Linksys WRT54G router with dd-wrt firmware that I wanted to use for routing. The instructions on converting the 2wire into bridge mode were helpful and that's what AT&T call center reps basically read off of. One thing I noticed on my 2wire was that the VPI and VCI was originally set to 0 and 35 respectively. I used the VPI to 8 and my Linksys was finally able to login properly with PPPoE.]]></description>

<title>[Line Problem] here is my info....Losing connection every few mi</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20850136</link>
<description><![CDATA[I get the following error message on the Linksys BEFSR11 router "PPPoE LCP negotiation fail.  I "googled this" I am definitely not running software to connect via PPPoE.  Unless Yahoo messenger can cause this problem on Vista.  I installed the Yahoo messenger client the night before the problems.

1) Which AT&T DSL Package do you have &#150; 
I have ATT&T Express.

2) Which modem brand and model do you have?
Alcatel 1000

3) Are you using a router? If so, provide the brand and model.
Linksys BEFSR11

4) Is your PPPoE login info (username & password) entered in the modem, in your router or do you use PPPoE software?
PPPoE login is entered in the Linksys Router.

5) Describe the lights on the modem when the trouble occurs. 
All lights are green.

6) Confirm that you&#146;ve checked to ensure that ALL devices plugged into the wall jacks serviced by your DSL phone number (except the DSL modem) have filters fitted.

7) Confirm that you&#146;ve powered off the modem and started it again and whether or not that made any changes with your problem.
I have powered off and power on the modem/router and kept it off for 2 minutes.  Then rebooted my desktop.

8) Do you hear any type of noise on the DSL phone line or any other unusual telephone symptoms?
DSL phone line is dedicated data line.  No phone is attached to it.

9) Not sure which web site to go for Alcatel 1000.  I tried 
192.168.0.1/statistics.htm but nothing happens and the second 192.168.1.254/wt108Stats.htm one timed out.

Vince in Campbell, Ca]]></description>

<title>[Modem] Motorola 2210-02 Port Forwarding</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20846120</link>
<description><![CDATA[I recently bought a Motorola 2210 modem in an attempt to relieve some of my disconnecting issues on World of Warcraft, as my old modem was a 4 year old 2Wire modem.

I currently have it set on bridged mode, with my router(a Linksys WRT54G V8) on PPPoE.  The internet works fine but I still occasionally(though FAR less than I did) disconnect from World of Warcraft.  So at this point I'd like to set up a static up/port forwarding.

I know how to do the static ip and the port forwarding in my router but I can't seem to find any option for port forwarding, or even a firewall setting on the modems web page.

Is there a way around this, or will just doing it on the router be enough? Also, is there a series of "best" settings for my network card with this modem/router combo, or even network card tweaks to get the most(and hopefully most stable) out of the internet?]]></description>

<title>Dry DSL payments are nerfed even more!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20687759</link>
<description><![CDATA[As you may already know, you have a few ways to pay that bill:

1. Call AT&T and pay it, now a $5 charge
2. Automatic payment, which as I know ATT/SBC in the past, can lead to some scary situations
3. Send in the mail.

There's no online option :\ When are they ever going to fix that? *sigh* ]]></description>

<title>[Line Problem] Is it just me?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20847847</link>
<description><![CDATA[I am having trouble connecting to just about every site I try, including this one AND my home page (ATT/Yahoo). I keep getting Firefox's "server not found, try again" message.

After several attempts, I do eventually get where I need to be, but . . .

<title>Unable to reach DNS server dnsr1.sbcglobal.net from Sacto</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20810102</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this: I was online, and suddenly, half of my Firefox tabs began reporting page load errors. I tried power cycling the modem, which came up fine. When I tried doing an nslookup on one of the sites I couldn't reach, the request timed out.

I'm currently borrowing my next-door neighbor's connection, just to post here. He's got Comcast, and he's fine. Is this a widespread problem? 

The timing on this is uniquely bad--I was studying for my CCNA exam, which is tomorrow.]]></description>

<title>Madera, Ca</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20846696</link>
<description><![CDATA[I talked to someone else who also has AT&T and lives here in Madera, and they said that they too had a problem with their connection, where it was slower than normal or just couldn't access the Internet, having the same problem as I had recently. I guess I'm not the only one and glad it wasn't just my DSL line having problems. Right now my connection is good now.

Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this???]]></description>
