Re: AT&T Southeast dropping Internet randomly; Last Ditch Effort
The current modem's information from the System... Details screen is
Model: 2701HG-B Gateway
Serial Number: 160919072232
Hardware Version: 2700-100594-004
Software Version: 5.29.109.11
Key Code: 525Z-25Z4-6266-22AS-B2DC
From the Broadband Link...Summary Screen
Connection Information:
• Internet Address: 98.67.59.82
• Hardware Address: 00:25:3c:1e:83:f8
• Key Code: 525Z-25Z4-6266-22AS-B2DC
I hope that's the mac address for this modem. If need be I can get you the MAC addresses for 2 of the other modems we have used. We returned the DSL-2640B today for a refund.
As far as concentrator info, I have no idea, I will see if I can find that.
It's not so much the tedium of walking through it, it's the fact that we have done it SO much in the last month and it has done nothing to improve the connection. I don't know if it's AT&T sending padt tags and kicking us off or the modems misinterpreting something and classifying it as a padt tag. I just want a stable connection. | |

| From the FAQ:
A PADT (PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate) signal is sent to terminate a PPPoE session. It is the proper way to terminate a session but is not the actual cause for the termination. The cause may be a simple timeout, a manual request by either end, or an out of spec line condition.
A PADT every month or so shouldn't be a cause for concern, but as frequently as you're getting them, it makes me think there's a line problem going on somewhere. This makes me think there's an issue with your line pair or DSLAM card. There can also be enough line noise to cause a PADT to occur but not enough noise to make your modem lose sync.
Here's something else you could try. I've had luck with this method in the past.

This is the mac address of your 2wire
Hardware Address: 00:25:3c:1e:83:f8
This url should get a page that has your access concentrator name
192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=J02
If its not there try this url
192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=J34
Look for a line like this
lmd: up with service: (default), ac: WPBHFLGA61W-8Y014070500526 on bridge1 | |

Thank you also, Pashune, I will see if I can dig up my old battery operated radio.
Just in case any of the other details are useful. | |

| Looks very much like a problem I had here until AT&T fixed some equipment upstream of the DSLAM. The DSL signal was always strong but the connection to the PPPoE peer would be periodically lost.
BTW, I wonder why your router's http daemon is listening on port 50,001? That would tend to make me nervous.  | |

Maybe it is on that model, but I never encountered it with the 2Wire units I've owned (1000SW, 1800HG). I just read somewhere else that the management port can be disabled via the setup menus, so I guess it's kind of moot after all. | |

| said by wayjac :All the 2wires listen to ports 50001, 443 and 80 As far as I know, the WAN tcp port 80 and 443 listening only happened if you had the remote access package installed and activated. Remote nmap and grc.com scans of my own routers never revealed any other ports opened, and I did take the time to scan through all possible tcp ports. These comments of course only apply to the two routers I owned (now both shelved), the 1000SW and the 1800HG. | |
