How do I set up my DSL modem to get me on the Dyna?

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #1 on:** July 29, 2006, 12:43:00 pm »

Um, I got verizon DSL...all I had to do was plug it in...

As long as the computer was on before, it should still be able to, just a little faster...

Problem is OP can't get online because it thinks that there's a firewall even though it's turned off. Apparently I need to configure the adapter the same way I would a router.

Many modems come with an integrated router/gateway now, which your ISP may or may not give you control of.

You'll need the exact make and model of the modem/router and then get the full users manual if one exists. (might be oem equipment). Then read the manual in full and see if you can resolve the issue. If not, then ask the ISP for help, though it is doubtful they wil comprehend.

I'f you're still stuck I can try and help you out when I get a chance. (Try reading some of the threads in the How To forums, I recall a few others have had similar modem/router issues).

Oh, and of course ensure you have applied the directory server update patch or OP+4 which includes it.

I have used DSL since day 1 the best way/easiest is to call your ISP and tell them you want to bridge your modem,they will walk you through it, bridging the modem basically means opening all the ports,they may ask why do you want to bridge the modem simply tell them you play multiplayer games online and need all the ports open...

NO NEED, as a former DSL tech I might be able to help you.

First I need three things

1. What DSL service you have

2. What OS you are running

3. What Bonk said, need the make on the DSL mdm.

PM me and will help you as far as I can go.

Sky, do you have ALL the DSL filters on ALL ACTIVE phones in the house?

Here is the kicker, what have you done so far in the way of setting it up?

Leroy, he has a ZyXEL, almost the same model as I do.

Bonk · « **Reply #12 on:** July 30, 2006, 02:53:20 pm »

Here's the other Zyxel thread, looks unresolved. Though from what I recall the router should be able to handle it.

Couldn't I resolve my problem by configuring a static IP? I set up the local area connection in WinXP to use a static IP, but it hasn't made any difference. The web configurator on my modem has static IP settings, but I don't know what an ENET ENCAP gateway is.

Bonk · « **Reply #14 on:** July 30, 2006, 07:00:58 pm »

When I say static IP address I'm talking about a private LAN IP address. (and that's only if your modem actually has a router and is not some kind of weird bridge) Don't try and set a static public IP address on the WAN on your DSL connection or your ISP will freak.

What is your modem make and model number?

SSCF-LeRoy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2006, 08:35:54 pm »

ZyXEL SP-660 Series ADSL Modem.

The closest thing I can find is the P-660 series
here. The photo on the website doesn't match the device that Sprint sent me, though, and the two user guides available for download are for P-660M-61 and P-660M-67. Mine just says SP-660 series on the bottom. The P-660RU Series and P-660R Compact Series look exactly like the modem we got from Sprint, but none of the their user guides really match up with what I have either.

Bonk · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2006, 09:11:54 pm »

I only found the following five manuals on their FTP site:

ftp://ftp.us.zyxel.com/P-660H-T3/document/P-660H-T3_v3-40_UsersGuide.pdf
ftp://ftp.us.zyxel.com/P-660HW-T1/document/P-660HW-T1_v3-40_UsersGuide.pdf
ftp://ftp.us.zyxel.com/P-660HW-T3/document/P-660HW-T3_v3-40_UsersGuide.pdf
ftp://ftp.us.zyxel.com/P-660R-T1/document/P-660R-T1_v3-40_UsersGuide.pdf
ftp://ftp.us.zyxel.com/P-660R-T3/document/P-660R-T3_v3-40_UsersGuide.pdf

However they are all huge PDFs and would take all night to download on my connection. And I suspect they all pertain to T1-3 connection models.

You need to know exactly what model modem/router you have and whether sprint has loaded a custom firmware on it...

Your ISP's online help does not seem to indicate that they have provided you a modem/router that is capable of port forwarding. (or do not allow you access to it.) It seems that sprint has handed off their DSL to embarq:

http://www.embarq.com/support/hsiuserguides.html#modem
http://www.embarq.com/support/guides/CPE/660/660dhcp.pdf
http://www.embarq.com/support/guides/CPE/660/660static.pdf

http://www.embarq.com/support/hsiuserguides.html#router
(no 660 links)

Again more PDFs... I'm really learning to hate pdfs....

You'll need your ISP to tell you exactly what equipment you have and if they have done anything to it or whether its stock ZyXEL gear (unlikely, zyxel's specialty is custom firmwares for ISPs).

This is a bad sign:

Zero Configuration
The Prestige 660's Zero Configuration technology allows users to hook up a DSL connection without hassle. The user-friendly design embedded in the gateway is OS independent and supports all kinds of operating systems in the host PC.

Also a bad sign:

Quote

UPnP Support
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) makes connecting PCs of all form factors and intelligent home and office appliances easier and even automatic by leveraging TCP/IP and Web technologies. The Prestige 660 series supports UPnP discovery and UPnP NAT Traversal and can automatically solve many NAT unfriendly problems.

Oh its all coming back to me now.... Zyxels javascript horny site will not work properly in Firefox... the selects only work in IE...

Zyxel lists the following P-660 models:
P-660H-61
P-660H-63
P-660H-67
P-660H-D1
P-660H-D3
P-660H-T1
P-660HW-61
P-660HW-63
P-660HW-67
P-660HW-D1
P-660HW-D3
P-660HW-T1
P-660HW-T3
P-660M-61
P-660M-63
P-660M-67
P-660R-61C
P-660R-63C
P-660R-67C
P-660R-D1
P-660R-D3
P-660R-T1
P-660R-T3
P-660RU-T1
P-660RU-T3

We can probably rule out the T1 or T3 models or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

That leaves:

P-660H-61
P-660H-63
P-660H-67
P-660H-D1
P-660H-D3
P-660HW-61
P-660HW-63
P-660HW-67
P-660HW-D1
P-660HW-D3
P-660M-61
P-660M-63
P-660M-67
P-660R-61C
P-660R-63C
P-660R-67C
P-660R-D1
P-660R-D3

What connection speed are you paying for on your account? Embarq lists the following options:

Quote

Starting at $24.95: up to 1.5M download/384K upload - Excellent for basic home internet access needs including music downloads, stock trading, shopping online and casual browsing.

Starting at $34.95: up to 3.0M download/512K upload - Perfect for telecommuters remotely connecting to their company's network. Very beneficial for home networking and large file downloading and uploading.

Starting at $44.95: up to 5.0M downloads/640K upload - Ultimate speed option for online gaming, and anyone requiring the most intense usage.

This will help us establish what model modem/router you have. Though the ISP should be able to tell you, but we all know how call centers are staffed...

I hear Roadrunner down in the states is pretty good.

The other alternative is to buy your own DSL modem (if the ISP will allow it) and seperate linksys router.

Though the one you have may have the capabilites required for a real internet connection, we still don't know yet...

I think you're confusing me with someone else in this thread.

Well, I got everything up and runnin' now and I'm playin' on the Forge

My only problem now is D.Net won't let me change my e-mail address to match the one I use on GSA so I can access the OCI

The e-mail address that D.Net has is defunct now, so I need to change it anyways.

Glad to hear it.

You should be able to change your e-mail address in your profile, it will require reactivation - I just tested this functionality (again) recently, it works.
