Re: Problems configuring Dl-604
Just because the ISP offers a USB modem doesn't mean you must use it. My ISP gives away USB modems to new customers - but after signing up with them I sold the USB modem on eBay.
Just make a note of the setup parameters for your PPPoA connection. Usually, you will need to know the following:
VPI and VCI (the ATM circuit used by the telecom company)
LLC or VCMux (the encapsulation type)
CHAP or PAP (the authentication method)
You should be able to find these direct these from the ISP, from their website, or from the information they sent you when you subscribed.
Once you have the information you should be able to configure an Ethernet modem or a combined modem/router, and away you go.
ICS is a software router and DHCP server. It's OK provided you don't mind leaving the ICS PC running, and can live with its limitations. But a hardware router is better and more convenient.
Hope this helps |
