I have ATT DSL too.

Mine came with a Seimens SpeedStream 4100 ethernet ADSL modem. Did yours?
If not what is the manufacturer and model of the unit ATT sent?

Is it hooked up and working? If so continue.

IF you have a Seimens SpeedStream 4100 --

  • It has 3 connection on the back
  • one for power
  • one for a phone line (gray in my case)
  • with a separate gray cable
  • this is connected to the non phone side of a splitter
  • one for an ethernet (yellow in my case)
  • with a separete yellow cable
  • this may be loose to connect to your computer OR
  • connected to another device
  • IF connected to another device what is the manufacturers name and model for that device.
If ATT supplied a device other than a Seimens SpeedStream 4100
  • Is there anything other than a power adapter and a phone line attached to that unit now?
  • What is the manufacturers name and model for that device.
In terms of your ATT DSL service
  • How many devices do you intend to connect? Computers, game consoles, etc
  • How many connected by wire, if you know?
  • How many connected by wireless, if you know?
To you know if your DV4000 computer
  • has an ethernet connector?
  • has a wireless network adapter built-in?
  • IF not can can you look on the label on the bottom of your computer and tell me the full model number is. Please use this Model Link to help figure that out.
Do you have any devices such as a router, wireless router, wireless access point either already connected or to connect to your ATT DSL service?
Please identify the manufacturers name and model number for each device and whether or not it is connected and working.

With all the above I will know where to begin in the process of attaching your new computer to your ATT DSL service. Please add a comment to this issue with the necessary information -- I know it will be long. However you are the hands and eyes of this team and my questions are to get you to tell me things I would know if I was present and installing these devices.

    Please ignore the "If so continue." after "Is it hooked up and working? " and continue to all questions regardless. In editing this I forgot to delete "If so continue."

ATT is your high speed internet provider and they supply you with 2wire DSL modem which has alot of power supply adapter going bad (you can Google 2wire AC dapter problem).
You can buy your own DSL modem but the key is the setting it up, it depends on how your ATT DSL system is setup, DHCP, PPOe, etc. What ever you do I hope you do have the user name and password that you may need to setup the new modem.
To explain exactly how here will take many many words and pages to explain, and without knowing your exact setup, it will be real difficult.
ATT does not care if you use your own DSL modem but they will not help you setting it up.
I would suggest you to get someone at school that knows a lot about computer, may be aks your school IT person to see if he/she can help you for free pizza.
I hope my explanation will help you out.

How to configure Westell VersaLink 327W to work with ATT internet

I bought one of these wireless routers a while back and found that these can work well with At&t simply by logging into the router (192.168.1.1), creating an account with your At&t user ID and password, and enabling PPPoE with the VCI set to 8 and the VPI set to 35. Worked well for me for about two years now. Hope this helps

You will need to connect a router to the Westell in order to use more than one computer with your dsl. That modem will need to be put in bridge mode in order to allow it to work with the router.
Call ATT/Bellsouth support and tell them you need to setup your modem for bridge mode and connect your Linksys router.

CAN A 2WIRE DSL ROUTER WORK WITH A CABLE INTERNET CONEECTION

The 2wire dsl modem/router cannot be use with a another cable modem , since this 2wire device is also a modem/router and its made for the DSL conenction that's why it wont work with Cox cable, the best thing that you can do is to ask Cox to give a wireless modem/router like this 2wire so you can still use the wireless connection of your computer..

Hope that helps..........

Help please

you can go to any wi-fi locations near your area and access the internet on your laptop. I think AT&T offers wi-fi access to its members on any of its designated hotspot /wifi locations (nearly 15,000 company-owned & roaming) e.g. McDonald's, Barnes & Noble bookstores, leading airports, coffee shops, etc. you can visit att.com and login to your account to find more details.
or call them at: 1-888-888-7520

you don't need to install any software/ dsl installation on your laptop when you are using a public wi-fi connection, just ensure that your computer firewall is on and take precautions when sending out any personal info online.

Cannot connect with ATT modem

Connect your pc to the ATT box. If online, check the ip address of the computer. If the ip address is 192.168.1.x, then you just have to change the router ip address. The wrt54g ip is 192.168.1.1, it may be having conflict with the ATT modem. Change the wrt54g ip to 192.168.2.1

Good Luck
