<title>[trouble] Heads Up - Verizon Internet Security Suite</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20512316</link>
<description><![CDATA[I work for Nike Corporate Help Desk, had a user install this Verizon Internet Security Suite on a Nike laptop because it came with the user's home DSL service.

This software package is either spyware or malware; when trying to remove this suite using add/remove programs users are unable to do so.

After a 15 minute call waiting to speak with a supervisor with Verizon Technical Support; seems users must remove this suite by downloading a "cleaner" from a Verizon website. 

This software package doesn't have a uninstaller package included. Warning to users, do not use this software, it appears to act like spyware/malware and may compromise your privacy and/or security. 

This software also blocked Remote Connections from taking place which is viable for our analysts to complete their job in a timely manner.]]></description>

<title>[connectivity] Some websites don&#x27;t work</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20485438</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been experiencing this problem since a heavy storm earlier this week, although I don't know if the two are related.

To help troubleshoot this, I have remote access to another location with Verizon DSL. Each location has a WRT54GL configured exactly the same, and they have not been changed in months. For some reason, within the past few days I've suddenly become sporadically unable to view certain websites when my MTU is 1492. However, I can SSH into the other router (which also has an MTU of 1492) and confirm the websites are working with wget.

I can ping them, and tracert them, but in a browser, barely anything happens when I navigate to them (dslreports.com, amazon.com, weather.com, wikipedia.org are some that stand out as not working). If I reboot the router and get a new IP address, I experience problems with different websites (sometimes). The problem seems random and very difficult to troubleshoot, but this week I haven't been able to get the "whole" Internet at once. I have tested and confirmed this on the router itself, and on three different computers behind the router (two wired, one wireless).

My temporary solution is to change the router's MTU to 576 (from the default 1492 for PPPoE). This is the only MTU value I've found that allows every website to be accessed (albeit, rather slowly). The problem described here http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk870/tk877/tk880/technologies_tech_note09186a008011a218.shtml seems to match what I am describing. However, since I know these websites are accessible with an MTU of 1492 from the other location, there must be something wrong somewhere between me and the rest of the Internet... I can't tell if it is me or Verizon or something in-between.

There is one very weird thing that I found while trying to fix this. Along the path to dslreports.com is 157.130.50.86 (internap-gw.customer.alter.net). From my location, regardless of what my MTU is set to, "ping 157.130.50.86 -s 1492" returns no packets (100% loss). From the remote location, with an MTU of 1492, the same command works perfectly (0% loss). I can't explain that at all. In fact, that makes no sense to me, and I've tried many times, but the same behavior...

If anyone has been experiencing a similar problem (I'm in southern NJ), or has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it... I'm running out of ideas!

Tomorrow I am going to directly connect the modem (it's a Westell 2100 bridge) to a laptop, set up a PPPoE connection through that, and see if the problem persists.

Eww, sorry this post is so long :(

<title>Business DSL SMTP question</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20481978</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi there:

I have a client with a static IP address from Verizon Business DSL - in order to use the SMTP outgoing.verizon.net, does it still require authentication via an email address?  The client is installed a diesel engine inventory tracking program that permits emailing invoices, orders, etc....

Thanks!

<title>Verizon DSL with VPN?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20506254</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just moved to southcentral PA and have Comcast cable for my ISP.  I work 100% from home connecting via VPN and the performance is just horrendous!  I can't access half the programs I need to do my job.

Does anyone use a VPN over Verizon DSL or have any knowledge of whether it would work better?  I want to make sure before I undertake the expense and hassle of changing my ISP after only a month or two.  

Thanks!  ]]></description>

<title>Verizon remote admin Actiontec GT704</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20508044</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello all, 

 I'm trying to help my unlce with setting up port forwarding and some more advanced things on his office network. what i wanted to do was enable remote administration on his router so i can access it from my connection at home. 

I've managed to walk him threw turning it on, but the only way i can connect is threw telnet. I've read the manual for this router and although it mentions how to turn it on, it says nothing about what port the HTTP remote admin uses.

The only manual i was able to find seemed to feature a different (older?) interface from the one verizon uses. There seems to be very little documentation of the verizon version of this router, if anyone could point me in the direction of a proper manual i would be grateful. 

What port does the verizon firmware use on the GT704 for remote HTTP admin?]]></description>
