My DSL connection has suddenly stopped working. I

There will be 4 lights...

Power
Dsl
Internet
Ethernet

Power light indicates power supply is good...
Ethernet light indicates connection between modem and computer is good...
DSL light indicates connection between modem and telphone line is good... Also DSL light should be steady and it should not flash...
If it flashes then it says there is a lot of noise in telephone line...
Internet light says whether the internet status is connected or not...Internet light can flash depending upon the internet activity...

Is this a DSL modem? and if you need drivers then are you trying to install this thru USB connection only?

if you can see a vista driver downloadable from the manufacturer's site, it will work 80% of the time.

Basically if your Internet service is DSL or cable it's just a plug and play. Just plug the computer to the modem once the Internet access has been activated by your ISP and your computer should automatically get connection from the modem.

hey there, can u acces the gateway of the router

192.168.1.1 than enter ur login & password

than reset the router to fabric setting when done go back in the router and configure it as u like to have it

check if your computer is getting a valid address from your modem. if so, try to ping the modem's address and check if you'll have replies. if it'll reply, try to disable any antivirus software and firewall installed on the computer or try to use another browser. if not, check i the computer is properly connected to the modem, try to use another port or another known working cable. also try to use another computer for isolation.
hope this'll help you with your concern.

connect your computer to it

go to start->run and type "cmd", press enter

type "ipconfig"

look for "default gateway..." and note the ip address(ie http://192.168.1.1)

go to your browser and type
http://192.168.1.1:8080

if that doesn't work..type
http://192.168.1.1

you can always call your isp technical support and ask them for it.

I belive with this modem you will:
1.Access the interface, generally http://192.168.1.1/
2. Go to Advanced on the left.
3. Select WAN.
4. Now you may see several rows of info, look for the one that says PPPoE, and then click edit to the far right.
5. Select Next one time.
6. Here select "BRIDIGING".
7. Click next all the way to the end.
8. Reboot, after you clicked save of course.


This is how you bridge 98% of PPPoE providers with a similar paradign modem.

Of course the next device in line will have to provide your username and password for your DSL connection.


Hope this helps!

Hi, If I understand you right, what you want is to use your Paradyne 6211 modem to share the Internet connection to 2 PCs. One is connected through the USB and the second through Ethernet port. Tried it on a Siemens 4200 and a Prolink Hurricane 9000, both worked and can be done. To be sure, the IP settings of the PC connected via Ethernet was set to manual configuration. In your case try IP 192.168.1.3, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1, DNS Servers - whatever your ISP are using. You of course can try and see if it works in your modem. Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards.

The answer "depends." If the DSL modem is in bridge mode, then NO. If you have opened up a WAN management port in the DSL modem, then YES. If the modem's management port is not open to WAN access, then do what I do. Remote into the site, past the DSL, then go backwards into the LAN portion of the DSL and reboot it. But..of course these answers are too easy and not what you are looking for, probably. The DSL provider can reboot the dsl modem. But there is no software or command I'm aware of that can reboot or resync a "fritzed out" modem. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"
