UTV BB router settings

Spacedog

trying to get a ZyXEL router working with UTV internet.

everything seems to be hooked up ok

but the 'WAN information' section on the Maintenance section shows :


IP Address: 0.0.0.0
IP Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
VPI/VCI: 8/ 35

everything seems to be configured correctly.

any thoughts?

Stephen

have you got it set to "dial on demand" or something like that? That was my only problem in setting up my D-Link router, it had defaulted to manually telling it to connect/disconnect.

Spacedog

yeah, tried that, no luck grrrr.

the router is a ZyXEL Prestige 645r-A1 btw.

Spacedog

here's all the settings on it, could it also be possible that the DSL line isn't set up yet?

Is it wise to have your sign in available like that? (Maybe I am just paranoid?)

Spacedog

it's safe as long as it doesn't work, that's for sure. come on guys, there's a load of you on UTV here, compare these settings with yours or offer some suggestions, the tech support people can't even view account usage, they said it'd take as long as 5 days to test the line. after that I'm stumped!

Cabaal

surely with the modem you have you can see if your line as a DSL signal and if its in sync or not?

Spacedog

yep, on the router, the powerlight, 100m Lan light, and DSL light are on. but it doesn't work. the third screen shot shows that the WAN IP address is 0.0.0.0 the lights are on but no-one's home

can you ping the router from your computer? (192.168.1.1) if not, its got something to do with menu 3.x, or possibly the LAN settings on your computer.

is there more then one computer connecting through the router? if so, then change the NAT mode from single-user (im guessing thats what SUA stands for anyway) to multi-user.

anyways heres my router settings: (sitecom DC-214 router)

IP address: 192.168.241.101 (this *isnt* my external IP..its a PPPoE thing...its the equivalent of that 169.xxx.xxx.xxx ip that the zyxel usbmodem gives u as far as i can tell)

what a funny router...
aanyways, as i said...dont ask about half of those settings...especially the bridge one and the static IP....my external internet IP is DHCP assigned though...194.46.xxx.xxx)
