Esat BT Broadband test query

    Got the broadband modem etc stuff yesterday
    connected and ran the wizard etc

    for the connection test I got this

    LAN connections
    Test your Ethernet connection - PASS

    WAN connections
    Test ADSL sychronization - PASS
    Test ADSL (ATM OAM) loopback test - FAIL
    Test PPP/PPPoE server connection - PASS
    Ping default getaway - FAIL

    apparently the Ping test always fails

    I then had no problem connecting to the web and downloading songs in 19 secs as opposed to something like 8 or 9 mins
    i.e. it looks like everything is working properly and broadband is installed successfully

    so does it matter that the Test ADSL (ATM OAM) loopback test failed?
    thanks

    Yes the loopback should not have failed.
    Having said that if u try the tests again i doubt it will fail again.

    The loopback is a signal sent to ur local exchange and sent back i.e loop.
    Its tested 4 times so if it failed once it would show as FAIL.
    You might have fiddled with the wire at the time it happened though.

    It should be fine...
