the "modem" doesnt come down the drop down box tho...everything else does!

is the modem properly installed? you should be able to go to DUN, create a new connection with the phone number, username and password given, then select your ADSL "modem" from a drop down box.

i cant add it to dial up networking...also shuld this modem be under "modems" or networking? its under networking not modems!!

dont know how many people this applies to, but for some reason my router suddenly stopped being able to connect to the BT DNS servers, so i had to go to each PC and put the pair 213.120.62.97 and blah blah blah.98 into the settings and all worked. Prob wont apply, but thought id mention it just in case!

oh.....so anybody know wat it is for virgin?

and also wat da hell im supposed to do to add it?! ive read all the stuff......when i click on dial up networking it never shows the virgin 1!!!! how do i add it?

DUN is Dial Up Networking

wats a DUN for virgin?

Mines got red green and yellow LED's
Red for power, green flashes when trying to connect, stays green once connected (line activated) and yellow for data transmission.

Munchie - did Virgin not supply you with a set-up CD or anything because ADSL still needs a 'normal' dial-up networking connection, it just works in a slightly different way - I'd imagine a set-up CD would sort most of this for you.

yeh but how do i set all that up? i have a password and username yes!!! thats it....

You should have a username and password, and probably DNS server addresses.

Yeah on a BT exchange which we'd waiting months to be enabled anyway, and it was one of the first to be converted this side of the city I think.

ok so wat do i do then???just plg me adsl modem in...then wat? hwo do i keep trying?i have no login shit etc....

Not BT then Ian? Last 3 site's I've installed DSL routers on BT have either ballsed up the activation dates altogether, or done it at 4:30ish in the afternoon :lol:

Yeah just keep trying on the day. Mine was on very early in the morning I think.

Um, I wouldn't have thought so now as they've sent you that activation notice.

If it was me, I'd get the modem and the connection all set up and ready to go, then you can keep testing it on the activation day until it works :D

will they email me then?

It's obviously ADSL in which case yeah, once the line has been activated, as long as you've set the modem, etc up then you're away :thumbs:

Target Activation date: 27/08/2003 (Your activation can take
place at any
time on that day, between the hours of 7.30am and 8.30pm)
