Steve, cannot now find the howto i used, to the best of my recollection, and with a bit of help from various info on the net:
1. browse to the alcatel, its on 10.0.0.138:80 by default. you will need the password :-) 2. choose phonebook from down the side menu, and set it up for nz parameters: Name: arbitrary, I use NZDSL VPI:0 VCI:100 type:pptp Click Add Go to pptp on the side menu and set up as follows: Encap:VCMUX HDLC framing:never Now in ipcop log in via ssh (or at the monitor if it has one) and type setup. Go to Networking, then Address settings, Red, then choose PPTP, and IP parameters for it to be able to communicate with 10.0.0.138 (the ones you had ere probably ok, subject to the discussion you had with David over netmasks) Navigate your way out of that, Now on the web interface go to networking/dialup and make a new profile, Interface is pptp, once you have chosen pptp click "Refresh" , which brings up a different range of options. In additional PPTP settings put in the address of the speedtouch, and the name you gave the connection on the speedtouch (NZDSL) Also need your [EMAIL PROTECTED] details, auth is pap/chap. Should now go!
