Re: Speedstream 4060 works in Windows XP Pro?

reply to XPUser
HELP! I'm having the same problem ramsestut is having with changing the Vci value. After changing it, it asks me to reboot, and after rebooting it stays blank. I've been attempting to connect for over a week now with no luck. The modem light is green, and I followed all of Orgt48's steps exactly, but running into the Vci roadblock. PLEASE does anyone have a solution???

My 4060 works fine with Verizon but after every reboot the 4th connection always says cable unplugged. I can still connect even with the message. If I disable and then enable it all is fine. Any idea why connection 4 is "unplugged" after reboot?

Well here it is! Please let me know your results!

How to connect to Ameritech DSL on windows XP using the Efficient SpeedStream 4060
Download drivers 3.4.1 from »support.efficient.com/drivers/dr···-033.exe
Extract them and run setup.
:: Setup Wizard::
Hit no on modem pictures number 1.
On the next set hit next.
It will copy files, etc. Just let it do its job.
When told so hook all the wires into the back of the modem. Then hook it into the phone jack. Plug in the power. Lastly hook the usb cord into the pc. When you do this alloy of new hardware found messages will appear. Ignore everything and just let it do its stuff.
Your modem light should turn green!
Click Finish
::Wizard Exit::
::Auto Config wizard appears::
Just hit Cancel asap
::Wizard Closes::

Now go to Start-Control Panel – Network connections – Create a new account
::Wizard::
Hit Next – connect to the internet – setup manually – connect using broadband connection that requires a username and password. Name is Ameritech. Enter your user name and password. Remember after your using name to put @ameritech.net I turned off the firewall. Hit Finish
::Exits wizard::

Click on ATM Connections – Right click and hit properties – Click on Efficient Networks RFC 1483 Intermediate Driver – Hit properties – set the vci to 35 – hit ok then close

Here is the MOST IMPORTANT PART. Local area connection 4 in network connections will say a cable is unplugged. To fix this right click on it and hit disable. Now after that right click on it again and hit enable. Select your Ameritech DSL account and hit connect! Happy surfing! BTW I am connected at 811.4 Kbps.. Is that good?

away2ro: Welcome to the Funhouse. Hey, any other info you get on this is appreciated. We'll add it to the FAQ. You may want to get this put up in the Verizon forum too. Your forum mod should be able to add it there.

Thanks...

Is it true that the instructions posted by ogrt48 don't work with XP home edition? I don't exactly know what I'm doing but had my week old XP machine online for several days, with two or three 'unconnected port' icons in the tray. Tried to remedy the situation last night and boogered everything up. Am gonna un- & re- install tonight after work.

Will I succeed if I follow ogrt48's post?

Thanks for the fix guys, from an ameritech.net agent.:)
