Thread: modem

Hi
Once i have replugged in my modem it says training, then after that phoneline is busy. but I don't have any phone and the line is only for my internet connection.
also the 3rd light which is supposed to be on isn't.

i am with Aol broadband.

please can anyone help, it's driving me insane.

Please see the thread internet connection problem. here.
Open IE and type 192.168.1.1 Id admin Password admin or password
Go to diagnostics page and test.
If Not available try 192.168.1.1/main.html ( could be 192.168.0.1 also)

In your computer start/ network connections/ LAN properties.
try repair option. If no go again properties .
open TCP/IP page properties and select automatically assign IP/DNS.

Or start run cmd type ipconfig
what do you get ?
It should be something like this
ip 192.168.1.x ( from say 3 to 100)
subnetmask 255.255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1 0r 192.168.0.1

What is the modem/router you are using ? Is it listed in website i have given in another thread ? Also Any splitter from telephone line to your modem ?

You can use opendns 208.67.220.220 and/or 208.67.222.222 for any ISP.

hi just trying the first part of your advice and not sure what you mean by these TCP/IP AND IP/DNS can you explain please.

1. Kindly confirm your connection is a broadband type . 128 Kbps to 2 Mbps usually or Dialup speed about 56 Kbps
2. Since it is exclusively for Internet ,is it a cable connection ?
I need , the details of the modem you are using to connect to Internet
The TCP/IP and DNS are needed to connect to the internet servers.
And entered in your computer network pages ( TCP/IP properties). , whether you use dialup/ broadband or cable connection
