| 2 Wire Gateway - Red Light on Internet question? Yesterday my conection took a dump and I had a red light on the Internet light of my 2 Wire gateway.
After about 10 minutes all was fine and the light was back to green and I was back up and running again.
Is this a problem with my gateway or an outside AT&T DSL problem? |

Picayune, MS | Red internet light means the modem failed to connect to the ISP after a number of tries. This could be a number of issues ranging from a bad password to the dslam or radius server going down. Since it came back on with no change on your end it was more than likely a ATT network issue which has been resolved. |

You should take a look at the 2wire detailed log
If the log has not been erased it will have messages about the atm circuit and PPPoE sessions.
Problems with either one will cause the internet light to be red
Here's the url for that 2wire page

kudos:1 | To me it looks like your line had enough noise for the PPPoE session to lose contact
INF 2009-01-16T14:50:39-05:00 ppp: ppp0: No response to 3 echo-requests
Contact is restablished

There are two of the "No response to 3 echo-requests" events
The first event lasted about 4 minutes
The second event lasted about 2 minutes |
|
| So it's not a faulty gateway? |

kudos:1 | I don't think the 2wire is faulty
The "No response to 3 echo-requests" is normal, the log should have 4 maybe 5 pages I'm sure you'll find that message on the other pages
The echo-requests are used to check the connection |

| Thank you very much for the help. |
