Internet connection and taskbar

Hi

If you have ADSL modem for the internet, and same line you connected with Fax then you will need to ADSL splitter to split your adsl line, get the ADSL splitter in market. in splitter you get one male pine or two female pine, male pin you connect the main switch where the connect is come, one female is ADSL there your connect your modem, and other female pin you connect you fax and try. your fax and internet will work both at a time.

My modem ADSL data light keeps flashing and sometimes does not appear affecting my ability to acces the Internet.
I usually have to re-boot my computer and this seems to solve the problem for a time. It is very inconsistant and anoying.Thank youM. Davis

ADSL DATA light flashes says there is internet activity (Internet status: Connected)...
ADSL DATA when off says there is no internet activity (Internet status: Not Connected)...

This occurs when there is a lot of noise in your telephone line...
It is adviced to do a line test in this case to find the amount of noise in your line...
If there is a lot of noise your modem will lose the internet connectivity and will try to re-establish the connection with ISP...
In this case the ADSL DATA light switches between OFF and ON...

One more thing...
ADSL SYNC light should be steady...
If it is blinking is says there is no syncronisation between your modem and ISP...

The IP address of the router must not be the same with the IP address of you your hurricane 9000p adsl router/modem. Try to set the IP address of the other to 192.168.2.1 and the other to 192.168.1.1.

Is your Telstra/Bigpond ADSL modem has a built-in wireless router?
If the ADSL modem has a built-in wireless router and your laptop does not have a wireless card, then you have two options to connect your laptop to the ADSL wireless router/Internet -
1. Purchase a PCMCIA wireless adapter and insert it into the PCMCIA slot in your laptop. One of my favourites is made by Netgear.
or
2. Purchase a USB wireless adapter, the only disadvantage with this solution is, it uses a USB port and if your laptop has only one USB port. This is a problem if you need to connect other USB devices. Then you also need to purchase a 4 port USB hub to give you additional USB ports.

According to the user guide, the modem is trying to connect to the isp. If it is continually blinking, check all your cables. Once you are satisfied all cables are properly connect contact the isp to find out if there is an outage in your area and if not they can help you.

i have the same problem trying to connect throw usb

You are a bit confused with the various components required for Internet connections.
If you have a dial-up connection with an Internet Service Provider, all you do is connect your computer's modem port to the phone line and dial the phone number of your Internet Service provider.
If you are connected to the Internet Servise Provider by ADSL and have a combined ADSL router and modem then you connect the phone line to this router/modem. If the ADSL modem is separate component then the phone line is connected to the ADSL modem and this modem is connected to the router with a LAN cable and the computer is connected to the router with another LAN cable. If the route is wireless and the computer has a wireless card then you don't need a LAN cable between the router and the computer.
If you are connected to the Internet by ADSL, to secure your Internet connection and configure your computer so it can connect to the Internet, please follow my instruction - click on this link :-

Hopefully you are directly connected and not trying to use wireless. You can try building or buying a Farady Cage. This should isolate the router from the interference.. Shield cage for router Google Search

Unplug the plug (from phoneline) on back of USB modem, plug into Zoom router. Plug one end of an ethernet cable into router and one end into your PC. Type http://10.0.0.2 into a web browser (eg. Firefox or Internet explorer) username/password is admin/zoomadsl go to basic setup and input your ISP username and password (the one given to you by your internet provider) under PPP. Click configure my connection. Save changes and then write to flash (both buttons on bottom of page)
