[newbie] ADSL after reboot
Hi Russel, I also have a Billion 5100 modem/router and have had problems with it while having it setup as ADSL, it was not detecting the Internet connection at all while set up with ADSL connection even though it was picking up the Ethernet connection. I changed my settings to LAN connection (After all a router is on a LAN) and I am no longer having any problems with my Internet connection. It is being detected correctly and using all the settings created on the Modem. I hope this helps. Regards, Craig Sorry this has lost its threading, but I have lost my gmane link, and therefore could not reply (see other topic) Thanks Craig, I have set up as a LAN and certainly no change in communication, so it will be interesting to see if the configuration holds next time I boot Regards Russell Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

But if your ISP doesn't, or if you are using a hardware firewall, then you use the lan setting. Confusing, isn't it? You have the same prblems setting up a hardware firewall.
