Re: [Home Networking] HELP: After switch to ATT from Covad I can
said by loadmaster  :I removed the service name and reentered the user name. That seemed to work. Thank you O-Wise-One. Your assistance to so many in this forum is indeed appreciated. Yes, Service Name should always be left blank because EL (or their provider aka Covad, AT&T, Qwest) may change the Access Concentrator that you connect to/connect through at any time without warning or notice. That's why it is an optional field and by keeping it blank you can connect to any Access Concentrator that advertises services on the VC (Virtual Circuit) you are configured for. VPI/VCI settings are the two values that create the VC you connect to at the DSLAM.

San Jose, CA | Windows has the ability to set the VPI/VCI settings but the Zywall router does not have the ability to set these. Only the optional service, login user, password, CHAP/PAP authentication type, and nailed up time. |

| What model Zyxel is that? I'm wondering if that Zyxel auto detects the VPI/VCI.
edit:
I don't know what model you have but this is from a P-662HW/HW-D. Go to page 85, section 5.4.

said by loadmaster :The router is not Earthlink supplied. Aha, you have a E2E (Ethernet to Ethernet) Router that is not a ADSL Modem also. That is why the VPI/VCI is not there as that is a ATM setting for the DSL side of things. You have to also use a DSL Modem or you cannot connect and the DSL Modem holds the VPI/VCI setting.
DSL Modems have the VPI/VCI either stored in a Table to run though to find the Active VC or they are a single setting supplied and entered during initial configuration for PPP (oE or oA).
Bridge Only DSL Modem
DSL Modem with Router included (2 in 1 Device)
