I'm probably wrong about the appending of @bellsouth.net if you forget to enter the domain after the user name.
I could have sworn that some of the FastAccess DSL modems did that or maybe I read it somewhere.
. .
I tried a Username without the @bellsouth.net on a FastAccess DSL Westell C90-610030-06 after a full reset to factory defaults and got an interesting result.
Refer to pics.
After I selected PPPoA and clicked continue there was no Auto Calendar Update Configuration page and it just saved the settings and restarted. The Power, Ethernet, and DSL light was solid Green and the Internet light was solid Red.
I opened my browser and logged into the modem then clicked on Easy Login and entered my real username@bellsouth.net and password then clicked Connect and was on the Internet.
The BellSouth customizing was gone but it still had the BellSouth style GUI, but all the BellSouth stuff was gone.
I opened Command Prompt and issued the command to change the MTU for Vista to 1500 and ran the SpeedGuide.net TCP Analyzer and got the results below.
« SpeedGuide.net TCP Analyzer Results » MSS: 1460 MTU: 1500 TCP Window: 64240 (multiple of MSS) RWIN Scaling: 0 Unscaled RWIN : 64240 MTU Discovery: ON TTL: 112 Timestamps: OFF SACKs: ON
Then I ran the Speakeasy ATL speed test and got 6500/439.
I opened Command Prompt and changed the MTU to 1478 and ran the TCP Analyzer again.
« SpeedGuide.net TCP Analyzer Results » MSS: 1438 MTU: 1478 TCP Window: 64710 (multiple of MSS) RWIN Scaling: 0 Unscaled RWIN : 64710 MTU Discovery: ON TTL: 112 Timestamps: OFF SACKs: ON
Then I ran the Speakeasy ATL speed test and got 6500/448.
At least I learned something out of this.
I learned how to make the FastAccess DSL Westell 6100 generic and now I can use the PPPoA that I like instead of the PPPoE that I don't plus no more of the Westell lopping 8 off the top anymore.
My luck AT&T Southeast upgrades my CO with new equipment and no more PPPoA for me.
