Is there a problem?

Danni · Jan 24, 2008, 14:25:33

Colin (Colin Burns) most likely screwed up his router setup (again) but the IDNet phoneline is also busy. As this is unusual (the phoneline being busy, not Colin messing up his router settings) I was wondering if there was a problem.

Also, can someone tell me what the router settings are meant to be so I can check his?

well got the internet backup and it turns out i am just an idiot

stupid router

so nothing new there

Danni still aint going to let me play with my new toy

For the record, PPPoA, VC-Mux 0,38. Login name and password, login name is the whole thing, ie before and after the @.

The phone number being busy is unusual, but I can let you have a geographical alternative if you want it.

Thanks Rik

Just set up his 2700HGV for him (the new toy I wanted to play with

). It's been a while since I had to do an ADSL connection, hence wanting to check the details

Had a nice play?

Danni · Jan 24, 2008, 16:18:53

(and why would I take your router? I haven't got a BT line to plug it into

)

What number are you using, Colin, I phone regularly and have never had a problem getting through.

Danni · Jan 24, 2008, 16:24:02

08000 267 237 normally, as I give it to him

Rik · Jan 24, 2008, 16:45:40

Should be OK, otherwise, try 01462 476555 - handy if you're on a mobile which charges for 0800 numbers.

Good tip, Rik. It's always good to have a geographical number. Plus, as IDNet probably get charged when people call the 0800, and geographical numbers are free from home, I'll use that in future.

Like you seb, i prefer the geographical number as i always call from my mobile!
