I didn't find it necessary to put in any code that post linked to above talks about.  I just did the below and also added a password for the router later.

Go to http://home or 192.168.1.254

Click on "Broadband link" at the top and then click on "Advanced settings" link.

Enter your username and password.. Dont click save

While on the same page.. type the following into your address bar..
javascript:document.pagepost.submit()

Once you are connected go to. http://home/tech or 192.168.1.254/tech
Click on DNS Resolve, 4th from bottom on the left.

Add the following...

DNS name: pbthdm.bt.motive.com
IP Address: 10.0.0.0

DNS name: cwmp.cms.smehomehubrms.bt.com
IP Address: 10.0.0.0

DNS name: gateway.cms.smehomehubrms.bt.com
IP Address: 10.0.0.0

DNS name: pbthdm2.bt.motive.com
IP Address: 10.0.0.0


That method of setting up the broadband link works just fine, but the router then still has some serious security weaknesses. You need to set up wireless security and to alter the firewall settings too.

Just won the same thing paid £7.49.this one is new in box and we have (thanks to Rik) established mine is a dual ssid whatever that is.

Great buy David you won't regret it!  :)

I am posting this for both reference and to find if Les had any probs or could give me tip before I get it. ???


From way back in this thread I have extracted what I did and the trick Lance told me about to get my IDNet credentials submitted. I now know it is not the only way but it is the one I used and it worked fine for me.  ;)

I did the power on factory reset as recommened and then connected up via ethernet port 1 to my PC and entered http://gateway.2wire.net/management and discovered the Summary page which contained the following:

System Summary
System
Model: BT2700HGV
Serial Number: 5206xxxxxxxx
MAC Address: --:--:--:--:--:--
Hardware Version: 2701-100588-005
Hardware Options: Wireless present
DSL Modem Type: ADSL
Current Software: 5.29.107.19 
DSL Modem: 7.2.2


Configuration
Key Code: 528Y-27G4-A222-22BJ-B22V

etc...............

I then followed kinmel's post in Rik's thread, "Contributions wanted" but without the Wizard as I have not yet connected the ADSL BT line to it.


The post I referred to is post no.29 in this thread:

What has me foxed is that when I enter my IDNet user access name and password at Configure and hit Submit

it is not accepted and I see this preceded by a warning triangle, Your PPP Username is not correct!

and it reverts back to what was there originally namely: green-light@service.btclick.com

This is what Lance told me to do to sort this out:

Quote from: Lance on Mar 27, 2008, 20:19:36
What you need to do is once you have entered your idnet details, don't press the submit/save button, but in the address bar type javascript:document.pagepost.submit() and press enter. This saves the correct details but bypasses the validation present on the dual SSID v5 firmware.

The Wirless set up and Firewall recommendattions are here in post no.29 in this thread:

Quote from: LesD on Mar 27, 2008, 20:12:40

I did the DNS poisoning

I have since read, however, that this is unnecessary with the Dual SSID model.

There we are chapter and verse on the method I used having pulled it all together from other places on the forum.  ;D

It sounds like one of those problems that will just disappear, but who knows when? :(

It hasn't disappeared just yet Sebby!  ;)

Something happens at 9 AM every two days that's for sure but whatever it is it did not start happening until Monday 5 May!   : :dunno:

I have to believe it is an external influence as I just cannot think of anything that I have that could be causing this to happen.

There seem to be a lot of people that have problems from the 4/5th March, that is the same weekend that my problem started, the 1st weekend of BT scheduled work, if I recall correctly.

If Matty fancies a train of his own just right click on mine and select Save picture as...
Then paste it in a folder of you own. A double click on the gif file, Chuffer1.gif will run it any time he wants to see it.  :)

Set it up offline, David, ie not connected to the phone. Then, when everything is good to go, just connect to the phone. It saves any risk to your profile through multiple re-syncs.

Thats what I was going to do Rik,studying the thread I was going to connect it up to a pc check out the settings or whatever make the changes and see how it fared but following all the advice very carefully here.

Will I need to make a new connection when the time comes or will the system just recognize a router,if that makes sense ?

If the router's correctly set up, David, it will just connect - much as if you had unplugged your existing router then plugged it in again.
