Re: Switching from bell to teksavvy. said by dan157:Do you have a link or could you explain how I would do this? With Bell, I put the CD in the CD drive, typed in my acc't/pword after clicking on a few things and it set everything up. I've looked around my network connections and I see no place where my acc't/pword is listed. What modem are you using? Virtually every one that has been sold in the past few years has a web interface so you do not need to mess with a CD. Older modems and pre-XP versions of Windows required software-based PPPoE which Bell shipped on CD as Access Manager. Is that what you are using?
For newer Bell SpeedStream modems (4200/5200/6300/6520) the web interface is usually at »192.168.2.1 Go there and you can set your ISP login without the need to run any software on the PC. If you have one of those models and get no response, try resetting the modem to the state it was in when you originally got it from Bell. (Press and hold the Reset button that is usually located on the bottom or back of the modem while you power it on.)
The IP address may be different for other makes of modem. Some modem manufacturers even relieve you of the need to remember the IP, e.g. for 2Wire »gateway.2wire.net |

Markham, ON | I really think this thread should be stickied, as this type of question pops up every other day. On top of that the detailed information by nanook, great job. |

Chatham, ON | There kind of already is here ( »TekSavvy FAQ »Transfering to TekSavvy from another ISP ) but I'll see if we can possibly enhance things a little from some of what was said in this thread...
