Re: modem settings for bigpond

2011-05-06 Thread Rob Davies

Afternoon,

Non Standard not really, I would not treat this as gospel??

Bigponds home page provides the settings for DNS and Preferred ADSL 
Encapsulation Method PPPoE??or A etc...

You will run into issues with your primary LAN, with netmask as such 
239.255.255.250?

DNS Primary is correct and Manual is Secondary(SA). Secondary is ACT, but will 
still work just a little lag... 

UPnP disable, unless there is a necessity for it to be activated. 
Bypasses firewall so you will not know of intruders.
If it is a necessity I would find ways of monitoring or controlling what or how 
will use it? If Possible...

Modem default information is provided on manufacturers website.

Cheers!
`RobD...

No, in fact the IP address of the modem should generally be left as is, unless 
you are using manual IP addresses on your network. You can find the IP address 
of any modem by connecting it directly to your computer with an ethernet cable, 
and looking for the Router Address in you Network System Preferences.

Hi James,

If ADSL and your modem already does the login then set the router to Dynamic, 
if your modem does not do the login then set the router to PPPoE and input your 
Broadband username and password into the router.
