didnt think this fit in the internet section so im going with hardware,
ok im from the uk and i have bt broadband at 2mb connection, 2 years ago when i first connected to the service i used the standard USB bt ADSL modem, but then a year later i build 2 more pcs so i wanted to share the connection.
i bought the netgear DG834 configured it to work and it has been up until now, i came home to find the router not conecting to the internet at all...i figured the router had just gotten old and had stopped working, so i ordered myself a new router the ZyXEL 660H prestige, in the mean time i reconnected the old USB one and used that.
i have now recieved the new router but no matter how much i play with thesettings i cant get it to connect at all which is making me think mybe the netgear wasnt broken after all.
i have set it to PPPOA and VC with 0/38 as it all should be, bt broadband doesnt require a logon but the manual says to put on in for the router anyway and still nothing.
i got the ips set to detect auto, ive tried having them set myself, ive tried auto DNS and ive tried using DNSs manually too but nothing is working at all, i can get LAN connection but not WAN.
ive pinged the router in dos mode and thats fine, the lan is all correct, its just not connecting out at all.
i have also tried the new troubleshooting on msn messenger which scans your connection to identify a problem and it says its part of my key ports that is causeing the problem...more specifically it says my proxy or firewall is not configured properly but i cant think of any other setting to change
this is really frustrating me so please please please help
