Configuring a 2Wire Router/Modem
I am running Vista Ultimate on my desktop and WinXPHE on my laptop. I recently bought a 2Wire modem/router 2700 Gateway with a view to connecting my laptop without an ethernet cable. I obtained my ISP settings and logged on to the system setup screen of the router and manually set up the device only to be faced with the following message when it tried to connect to the web:-
DSL Signal: DSL found on Line 1
PPP Login: Successful
Internet Address: An Internet address was verified
ISP Link: Domain Name server found
Configuration Server Link: Unable to contact the Configuration Server
Can anyone tell me how important the Gateway Activation Codes are? I took one off the web which is said to be fine for a PPPoA protocol which is what my ISP calls for.
I can access the web OK and can receive but can't send Email. I also cannot set up the laptop the way I should, but that's another story. I'd like to get the desktop running via the ethernet cable first. Can anyone offer advice please
Any help would be appreciated and acknowledged.
All the best
