| Westel 6100 Linksys W54G and Version DSL I have the above set up the modem is from Version. I bought another 6100 off Ebay so I could return the rented 6100 to Version.
The problem is I can not get the Ebay 6100 to connect to the service. The modem seems to be working ok. I get a red light on the internet led and the message cannot connect, or hook up a dsl line. I assume there is something in it for version to recognize but I don't know what setting. Its address is 192.168.1.1 and the Linksys address is 192.168.0.1
I compared it to the working one and all settings look the same. However I may have overlooked something.
What have I not set up correct?
thanks |

kudos:3 | You may double check and see what the VPI/VCI settings are supposed to be for Verizon's network. You can change it in the modem under Configuration > Advanced WAN > WAN. |
|
| Those settings are not available through the modem.

kudos:3 | Yours may be a little different as far as where the menus are, but there should be some option (maybe advanced?) where you can get into the WAN menus and check the setup. |

What settings are available through modem, and is one of them expert mode like my 6100 from BellSouth? If so, those settings should be in expert mode>configure>connection. |

Here is a screen shot of the menus, the only place I can find Wan mentioned is in this one, "single static IP configuration" There is nothing under maintenance. |

Ok, what do I change? This is from the Rented modem. It is for Centurytel, which I have DSL through. I have the same settings on the new one though. The one I bought to replace it was for Verison I believe. |

| If the VPI, VCI and protocol are all set correctly, then the only other problem could be the account and password for that connection.
I'm not sure - I think you get a chance to set that when changing the settings. However, you can also set those by clicking on HOME and then editing the session settings - that's probably the best way to do it.

| I have set the name and password when I first installed it, It is correct but still doesn't work. I get a red internet light. I thought that there was something set in the modems to tell Centurytel that it was a centurytel modem like a Ip address or something else but I don't know what. |

I work for Centurytel larry, and it does sound like there is a user/password issue if you're getting the red internet light. Your modem settings look fine as far as the VPI/VCI settings. Make sure you aren't putting the "@centurytel.net" in the user ID field behind the user name. |

kudos:3 | Have you hit the reset button to restore factory settings? Also, I'm assuming you have the linksys out of the equation right now? |

kudos:3 | If all else fails, you can put the 6100 in bridge mode, and have your Linksys handle the PPPoE session. |
|
| Is there a way to d/l the firmware from the working one and u/l it to the non working one?
How do I set it iup in bridge mode. I'm not too great on modems or routers.
thanks |
