Worked my way through the 43 synch.bins for BT Voyager 100, no luck. Going to go a different route. Can anyone suggest something to connect to BTBroadband with 3 computers, 2 linux and one Windoze. Kind of a ADSL Modem/Network Hub. Also a link to installation help, I know I'll need
Any ADSL router will do the job. I'm using a SpeedTouch 530 from Eclipse but any ADSL router with at least 1 ethernet port will be fine. It doesn't matter what you are running, any OS that can use an ethernet port can use any ADSL ethernet router. That's what ethernet is all about. The differences come down to only two things: 1. Cost 2. Number of ethernet ports. If you already have a hub or switch, the 530 is fine. It has 1 ethernet port, that connects to the switch via a short patch cable and everything else plugs into the switch. Set the default route and bingo. Internet. The built-in firewall is fine and you don't need to (although you can if you like) configure any DNS. A lot of routers will want to use 192.168.0.1 as their default IP but that can be changed. The interface itself is almost universally HTML, albeit with a liberal use of Javascript. Konqueror and Mozilla are more than capable. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
