I entered the new DNS servers into the NIC config, and I've been running OK for 4 days now...

Thanks!!

In place of entering 192.168.1.254 (default Ip) into the browser, you can just type launchmodem and it will bring up the configuration screen for the modem. Also I think anytime you enter the default IP to access the modem it may show up in the log as launchmodem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13671906 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 11:59:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13654101 neonstorm : Thanks, I'll try that when I get home.

I've reinstalled Firefox (even though I found IE didn't work either, there was a new FF version out). I've reset the modem and reconfigured it.

I don't get the DNS redirection error any more, but I am still getting disconnected. Sometimes clicking the 'restart connection' button works, sometimes I have to clear the cache to get it to work. I've changed the DNS servers to 4.2.2.5 and 4.2.2.6 in case this was a DNS issue, but I'm still intermittently dropping out. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm ready to replace this thing again...

Thanks,
Ryan]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13653493 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 08:59:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13649574 Missinglink : I don't know if it matters, but I've had my 6100 since last December and rarley get disconnected and mine always has the Unknown host: 'wpad.launchmodem.com' line on my connection logs. I thought this was normal.:hmm:

Can someone tell us if this is ok ?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13649574 Mon, 13 Jun 2005 18:53:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13645360 neonstorm : I just realized I didn't reinstall Spybot when I reinstalled XP last week. I ran it and found a few nasties, and took care of them. I'm still having connection problems, but I haven't seen the DNS warning though. I'm assuming I was getting it from the spyware trying to run with no connection to the net...?

As far as the Always On setting, I have set that a few times, and it keeps reverting back to On Demand...? I've also noticed that sometimes, instead of the DNS warning or the browser's 'Failed to open xxxxx' message, I will get the modem's CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE SET UP YOUR CONNECTION screen.

I'm starting to wonder if I have a bad modem or something. BS has already replaced it once (lightning storms are a you-know-what here in Florida); it looks like they may be coming back out again. What do you think??

1. Change your modem to always on.
»AT&T Southeast Forum FAQ »How do I set the Westell modem to an Always On Connection?
2. Check for spyware and viruses. It is showing a DNS redirect to 'wpad.launchmodem.com' which I personally have never seen before.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13643191 Sun, 12 Jun 2005 22:15:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13640890 neonstorm : Yeah, it sounded kinda like DNS to me too. I'm looking into changing the DNS servers now...

does it only happen with Firefox? does IE give you any issues? maybe u need to reinstall Firefox, try hitting the reset on the back of modem. DNS issue? no idea i'm no expert.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13640852 Sun, 12 Jun 2005 15:31:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13639128 neonstorm : Hope this isn't too much to dump...

My DSL is intermittently dropping. All the modem's indicators are still lit, but I can't connect. The modem's built-in ping function works, but I can't ping though. And occasionally, this message pops up when I open my browser (Firefox 1.4):

The mesaage is in a Westell/Bellsouth info screen. I go under tools and clear the cache, reopen, and the connection is up then. Any ideas?
