Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me, I have been a virgin.net subscriber for a number of years and have used there "alcatel"" adsl modem I did have two computers connecting to the internet.
I now have a third computer and have installed straight through cables and have invested in a router, 4 port switched type.
My questions are,

1 In the set up the router is asking for the type of operating modes virgin.net supplies.examples include PPPoE+NAT PPPoA+nat....

2 has anyone connected to virgin using a router if so what values did "you " use

3 Included in the set up is a screen which asks for host and domain names, any ideas ifI should be completing these

4 then a screen for atm vc parameters

I know that this might be a bit "techie" but I'm an enthusiastic learner with only a basic knowledge, I have been searching the internet ad came across this site in the hope that I may find the answers, BTW I had contacted Virgin by email but the request seems to have fallen of deaf ears !!

Brian.

If it dont fit...force it. If ya cant force it...get a bigger hammer. If it breaks...it probably needed replacing anyway.

it,s no problem, if anyone does need tp knowand I should have posted this earlier

the operating mode is pppoa+nat

my router also had the other preset values and I found a link on the virgin.net forum, a little program that alters your computers connection speed.

if anyone else finds themselves in the same position as me, this really works.

oh, and don't forget to power down your computer.

hey br41ns

i have been a virgin.net customer for sometime and was given a speedtouch 330 ADSL MODEM. since it has a USB output hence it can only fit into one PC. i have foud my old speedtouch 510 MODEM whic his also a router and am trying to get it going.

i can view the settings of the speedtouch 510 and have changed the login and password of the 510.

i guess i have to change the dial up networking rules, and have to specify a different point of presence, i cant find that in the settings.

at the moment, the configuration is set to

region: UK
provider: All
Service Name: Dynamic Address
Service Description: PPPoA, UK Settings, NAPT, DHCP, DNS

i can setup a configuration file to upload

can you tell me how to change my settings so that the speedtouch 510 works with virgin.net, i was previously with eclipse
