I've upgraded my STH to the Pro version, and have turned it into a
DHCP server and router.
After forgetting my password, I've tried the two methods I could find
to reset the modem to its factory settings: Ping-to-Defaults, where I

I was reading thru the SBC/Ameritech DSL info,
and found this section concerning line filters.
I thought the purpose of the telephone line filters
was to suppress the high freq digital DSL signal

Here's the story:
PC connected with DSL service supplied PPPoE connection software to
Router which also has an IP phone on it. Both work fine - without
having the password in the Router.

I've had DSL service from Verizon (GTE) in Los Angeles since 1999
using an Orkit FastInternet ADSL Modem.  About two weeks ago the LAN
Ethernet controller in the Orkit started to fail (many DNS failures).
I called Verizon Support and they agreed to send me a new DSL modem.

I've been using cable internet for years. However, I'm currently fixing the
computer of a Verizon DSL user. I'm going to do a clean install of Windows
XP, however, I have no idea what's involved in setting the DSL connection
back up, and so far, Google and Yahoo searches haven't ...

I have an DSL connected XP machine at home and a TCP/IP W2k machine at
work.  I believe if I can get my PPPoE connection to ping my TCP/IP
connection and visa versa, I can get RealVNC to work.  What can I do
before I screw something up?

My aDSL has always had excellent download and upload speeds.  Recently, I
had some sort of "crash".  After I recovered, I found that although my
_download_ speed was still excellent, about 900Kbs, my _upload_ speed has
dropped to about 30Kbs.  I've tried everything, but I can't find ...

Hi;
I'm getting frustrated, now that it's been 2 years and Verizon still doesn't
bother to put the proper equipment in my town's CO. Are there any tips for
convincing them that with a rather affluent population of over 10,000

My ISP has just started blocking Ping and Tracert and I have 2 problems.
Firstly , I use a dynamic IP DNS server which maps my chosen domain name to

works.

Hi, just got a new Linksys BEFSR41 ver.3 to replace my fried D-Link DI-704.

I heard in CO and maybe AZ that they are testing a 1.5M upgrade to the
normal 640k DSL.  Is anyone here testing that??  If so, how is it so far??
I am in MN and am looking forward to it expanding!!

This is a "just-curious-anyone-know-details?" question. I had one of
the earliest home installations of Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) DSL in
our area (Massachusetts), and was assigned a static IP address. Last
week, trying to resolve issues with (first) slow throughput and

I've recently been 'upgraded' to a new ActionTec modem from my Cisco
675 by Qwest.
I have it configured correctly but the problem I'm having now is, I
host some sites for friends off of my linux server and when I attempt

I got an adsl and cable connection and now i have to put them together. Say
