| how did you telnet into the modem? I tried 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.1 (which was my last Earthlink modem's IP address, oddly enough) and couldn't get a connection to enter a password. Please share.  |

| You have to be on the same subnet as the IP address you are trying to Telnet to or it will never connect and only timeout.
For trying the 10.0.0.1 IP your NIC has to be set to 10.0.0.2 subnet 255.0.0.0 to connect.
For trying the 192.168.1.1 IP your NIC has to be set to 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.0.0 to connect.
Note: a reboot is required after setting an specific IP for your NIC (exception would be XP since it initializes TCP/IP differently).

Hey, Doc,
Gotta talk quick -- BSF is at the door. Actually, I 've already tried both the correct subnets you mentioned before (waiting for 30 seconds or so with Win2K precludes rebooting, by the way). I still got nothing. Running Win2K on a laptop set to the aforementioned settings. 
I've read, in an older thread, that some ISPs are closing ports to telnet. Could this be the case on the 645 modem? If so, what would the open port for telnet be?

»Re: Zyxel 645 config for Earthlink DSL?
I called support after a hard reset and Earthlink tech sup couldnt tell encapsulation from a hole in the ground. Telnet in = void warranty.... They told me to use PPP with it set on Bridging in the main screen. In reality not bridging but with 1483 .... DOH.
I'm running 2.5 firmware and a new rom load, hitting 1290 down 320 up... linux rox The staff at zyxel are the best. After giving EL a chance to fix this, and not doing so, they sent me just what i needed and 5 minutes later, voila... THANKS zyxel, forget Mindlink or is it EarthSpring |
