New ADSL Modem on Windows 2000 Gen...




By sweisberg on Nov 23, 2008

" "
ADSL modem connected to a Windows 2000 PC network card. This is a firsttime install. Previously, only a router and regular modems had beenconfirmed on this PC.

All 3 lights are on but when doing settings -> control panel ->adsl I get:

Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device) windows 2000 ethernet

The phone company exchanged the modem once saying it was bad. New one has the same problem.

  • I've been told that if all 3 lights are on it's more likely an ISP issue. Any suggeestonis? Both phone support
  • MS has some suggestions on their web site but none fit the bill: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122839/EN-US/#appliesto

AZTECH ADSL2+ETHERNET ROUTER DSL-600E

- I suspect there's some confusion in the setup as to whether the device is acting as a modem or as a router since I think it can be both. In the latter case, there shouldn't be any dialing necessary at all. The fact that all 3 lights are on when turned on would lead to this direction. If this is so, I just need to do a LAN connection setup with which I'm familiar.

You posted userid/pw combinations. Is there a standard IP? I was told 10.0.0.38 for this device.

I'm actually trying to help my son out on this. I thought I'd get to him yesterday but it won't be until later in the week. And then I can see the installation manual, too. :)



Thanks.... Steve

Hi there,
1. Check to make sure the correct modem is selected in the dialer.
2. Make sure there are not multiple modems installed.
3. Uninstall and reinstall the modem.
4. Make sure that no other programs are using your modem. Fax software, Supervoice, etc...
5. Get a new modem, send it back.. Your computer is just fine.

was i helpful enough?

- Not able to access the modem's home page, try these combinations:

user: admin
pass: leave blank

user: root
pass: leave blank

user: admin
pass: admin

user: root
pass: root

user: admin
pass: root

user: root
pass: admin


These are commonly used default username/password combinations for routers/modems...
