    I bought a belkin adsl modem with wireless G router (capable with 802.11b and 802.11g) and am trying to get it to work on my eircom broadband. the manual says i need to have the following info from my ISP..

    For PPPoE and PPPoA users: VPI/VCI numbers, username and password.
    or
    For Fixed IP users: IP Address and subnet, IP address for your ISP's gateway server and DNS...

    Can anyone give me information on how i find these or whether i will be able to connect the wireless modem to my broadband?

    have you looked at Eircoms Broadband tecnical support ? .... :confused:

    http://dsl-support.eircom.net/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/&/?St=58&E=0000000000014276717&K=9989&Sxi=13&Question4726=obj(4726):obj(4737)

    hit ... 'other Modem' ......
    Set up a non-eircom supplied modem


    3rd party broadband equipment

    Skip to manufacturer's contact information.

    Although you may use any broadband (ADSL / DSL) modem to connect to the eircom broadband service, eircom net Technical Support will NOT support any modem-related issues (with the exception of No Sync issues [click here to troubleshoot]) and there is no guarantee that the modem will work reliably. eircom-supplied modems have been extensively tested to ensure a reliable connection and are pre-configured for the eircom broadband service. The setup and any issues relating to non-eircom-supplied equipment are not supported by eircom net, refer to the documentation that came with your device or contact the relevant manufacturer for support - see contact details below.

    If you intend to use your own modem, you will need to ensure that it supports PPPoE (Point to Point over Ethernet), and enter the correct settings which can be found below.

    If you experience problems with your own modem and need to contact broadband Technical Support, please check whether the DSL, DSL Sync or CD light is lit on the modem before you call. To find out which light this is, or if the issue lies with the installation or connection of the modem to the computer, you will need to consult the documentation that came with the modem or contact the manufacturer.

    If the DSL, DSL Sync, CD or Internet light is lit, then the modem is physically connected correctly to the phoneline, if not, check the connection to the phone socket. If you received a Netopia modem and still have it, try connecting that to your computer to check whether you can connect to the internet.

    *Note: If you are using our broadband Time product, we recommend that you configure the idle time on your modem to 900 seconds (15 minutes). This will ensure that your modem times-out during periods when the modem is not in use so that you get the maximum benefit from your allocated online time.

    Eircom settings - http://dsl-support.eircom.net/

    You shouldn't need to input a fixed IP the modem will auto configure itself in that department just make sure you enable it to act as a DHCP server so it will hand out IP addresses to the other devices on the network.
