| SpeedStream 5100 & MCI dsl service I get DSL service from MCI, and I live in San Jose, CA(if it matters). And I am having the hardest time trying to set up a home network. I just realised that, what I thought was a modem, was also a router. I have an idea of how to set up a network. I was able to do it with my SBC service a long time ago, but am unable to do it with my MCI ISP. When I access my 5100 modem/router, I am not able to access any of the admin stuff. No PW was included with the package that was sent.
I just wanted help from anyone who has experience with home networking with a MCI ISP. |

1 edit | if it helps here's the info on my modem.
I don't have any admin rights for the router/modem.
I set up the PPPoE on my router and that did not work.
When the modem is directly hooked up to one computer it is detected as uPnP. |

1 edit | »MCI (formerly Worldcom) doesn't use PPPoE from reading the »MCI (formerly Worldcom) Forum. It is a DHCP Bridged Connection.

Setup your Router for DHCP not PPPoE.
