| Westell 327W setup for EarthLink
Here are the critical settings I used to get my Westell 327W DSL modem from Verizon to work with EarthLink. Log into the 327W in the usual fashion, using your username and password.
Protocol = PPPoE Account ID = [my_email]@earthlink.net Account Password = [my_EarthLink_password] DNS Primary = 207.69.188.171 (West Coast DNS) DNS Secondary = 207.69.188.172 (East Coast DNS) VPI = 0 VCI = 35
NOTES:• The modem maintenance login name and password are not necessarily the same as your EarthLink account login and password.
• If you live in the eastern half of the continental United States, swap the IP addresses for the Domain Name Servers, i.e., the East Coast DNS would be your primary and the West Coast DNS would be your secondary.
• The DNS IP addresses shown are for EarthLink's "Opt Out" servers. If you try to connect to a site that doesn't exist, you'll see an error message on the browser screen. This is the way your browser should normally work. EarthLink provides these servers but doesn't endorse their use. They would prefer that you use 207.69.188.196 (West Coast DNS) and 207.69.188.197 (East Coast DNS). These servers will redirect your browser to an advertising page of their choice if the site you want is down or doesn't exist.
• Remember, if you change your EarthLink login or password, these must also be updated in the 327W. If you don't, you'll be able to connect to EarthLink mail, but you won't be able to access most Web sites. |

Actually you will not get authenticated and will not get a PPPoE session if you change your Primary Username or Password and do not update your login credentials to match in the Modem. You won't be able to access email or any web sites until after you do that. -- Whats the point of owning a supercar if you cant scare yourself stupid from time to time? |
