Re: BT Broadband through a Safecom SBRU-10100 router?
I've spent hours trying to get/keep mine going. IIRC the IP address of the router and network were the same (or something like that).
Once sorted, it worked ok for a while then the web just stopped working until a reboot of router, then again and perhaps an unplug this time. Sometimes it would not work again, then it would. It is worse with xp sp2 than with sp1. Every time i accessed the s/ware (when it let me in)it stopped working. To say it is flakey is a bit of an understatement.
Last week i decided to change it and bought a cheap D Link DI-604 from amazon on their cheapo 'no cost' delivery. Plugged it in as per the instructions, turned on the pc and away it went. The s/ware is stable and it hasn't dropped the connection at all yet
For info i'm not connected via BT out here in the sticks , but via w3z and pppoe (w3z.co.uk)
Cheers.
