Attreu

GOt my netsource service turned on yesterday, the modem i've ordered from uk has not arrived yet so i'm using a m8s Alacatel modem.

Tried to set it up but cannot connect.
it is sendind data ok but not receiving.

VPI - 0
VCI- 38
Type- PPPoA
Encapsulation- VCMUX


How do i change these settings as i think they are for UK?

Anyone?

I'm using a Fujitsu FDX310 atm with Netsource which uses the same chipset at the Alcatel.It includes a configure otption which was added to the start menu during install which allows changing of settings etc.

yes m8 , have those setiings, thanks

but i need to change them on the modem,
i think the modem might be locked to uk networks like phones can be locked to particular nets.


Just have to find out how to unlock this modem.

i'm downloading new drivers (at 2KB/sec )
so that might help

Attreu

carbsy - dont have that option only things i have that have been added to start menu are:

Speedtouch dialup
Speed touch USB diagnostics (PPP)

i can change everything except these settings.

Thanks for the reply.

The Alcatel drivers take their settings from a file called phonebook.ini
You could try copying the installation files to your hd and manually edit the ini file for the VPI/VCI settings.
I'm sure I've a copy of the drivers for Eircom's ADSL somewhere, if that doesn't work I could send on the ini to you from those if you need.

Attreu

on windows XP, when i got to show all connections, shud the netsource connection be under broadband or dial up, cos i have a new one under each?

Frank Grimes

Probably dialup, looks like the drivers you have are installing it as a PPP device rather than a network adapter.

Attreu

Grimes - yeah can you mail me the ini file - jhuet@jhuet.com

What model is the modem? I've 2 sets of drivers, one is for the older USB modem (the green fish-type thing) and the newer model (330 I think) which can act as an ISDN modem aswell.

Attreu

Its the green fish one m8,

Frank Grimes

Check your PMs.

Attreu

Grimey - Thank you!

Worked a treat.

I tried changiung the phone book myself last night but it seems that the final strings counts and i did not know waht numbers to put in it.

I'm now connected.

Frank Grimes

No problem.
