Eircom Broadband

My broadband is not working. Pages won't display, won't check e-mails, basically the internet won't work (I'm on a dail-up connection now). Everything is plugged in and the Netopia box is turned on. HELP. Don't wanna pay 11c a minute for a slow connection.

marco murphy · 26-12-2004 10:45PM

is it 11c a min,no wonder our bill is high

Brian017 · 26-12-2004 11:15PM

Something like that on-peak. 6c or something off-peak. I'm not too sure.

marco murphy · 26-12-2004 11:18PM

What About 1c A Min!?

Brian017 · 26-12-2004 11:20PM

It's a 1890 number

Brian017 · 26-12-2004 11:35PM

No suggestions?

oh right, this is were your at.

is the dsl link light on? your using Netopia Eircom router yea? Is the Usb or Ethernet light on?

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 12:32AM

The Dsl Sync light is on.

The USB Active light is on

ando · 27-12-2004 01:01AM

did you try restarting the modem, shut down your machine, unplug the usb router, leave it out for about 10seconds, plug it back in, restart your Pc.

If it still dont work, go into your webbrowser and connec to the modem, I think its default is 192.168.0.1 ? not sure though, and try connect manually to eircom

Tried That Website And Got Page Cannot Be Displayed

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 01:39AM

It started last night

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 12:03PM

Ah, this is pissing me off. Excuse my french.

Drapper · 27-12-2004 12:07PM

Check you ADSL settings and password !!! my mate installed somthing and it adjusted them !!!

GO through the whole set up process for ADSL ""!!

Should work

Are you getting a network box on the bottom right of the Win XP toolbar?

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 12:17PM

How do I change them

Kazujo · 27-12-2004 12:37PM

You could try pressing the reset button on the back of the modem

ando · 27-12-2004 12:38PM

on your machine, goto Run, type cmd. Type in ipconfig

note the number that says default gateway.

Type the default gateway into your web browser and install eircom broadband again. You could also try the generic username and password 'eircom', 'broadband1'

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 12:55PM

Inserting my passwords takes me to eircom.net/broadband

Drapper · 27-12-2004 12:57PM

Do what ando said !!

I will work and take you time !!

RESET MODEM !!! and then check configuration.

Brian017 · 27-12-2004 12:58PM

It's ok. It's working now. Thanks a million. A very happy New Year to you.

Brian017 · 21-01-2005 03:48PM

Guys it's after happening again.

DMC · 21-01-2005 03:51PM

And have you done what fixed it before? Check the DSL lights etc? Can you get to 192.168.1.254 in your browser?

MrVestek · 21-01-2005 03:58PM

Well first of all stop connecting the modem via USB, you've no idea how much hassle that causes. Connect via ethernet if possible... unless it's one of those shoddy usb only modems...

Brian017 · 21-01-2005 04:31PM

No I can't get to the default getaway.

im having a problem with my eircom broadband.
when the phone rings or dialls out, the connection is dropped for a second. this is very frustrating if using something like msn messenger.

any ideas?thanks

DMC · 30-01-2005 09:28AM

How have you it wired up? Is the broadband connected to a seperate socket or is it on the same as the phone? Are you using the filters provided?

30-01-2005 10:59AM

Have you a firewall?
If so turn it off as for some reason it may be blocking your modems ip address.
Go into your firewall settings if thats the case and give permission to your modems ip address.

Also do a full reset on your modem, if you cant do that plug it out , wait 10 seconds and plug it back in again, let it synch up and see what happens.
