I've been using a D-Link DSL-504 as an ADSL modem/router with few hassles (apart from twice where it had dropped out to DEBUG mode from the firmware - cured remotely OK as I had a serial line wired up to a console server.

I just asked them for a statement so I can claim the costs back from work (yay!) but they've billed me for an invoice amount of 0.00 for the last 15 months.

Re: [Scottish] [Fwd: Demon ADSL]
I use plus.net and I've had no problems at all. Their service has been 100% reliable and I've also had plenty of helpful advise. They offer lots of things for free like, rDNS, domain hosting, webspace and the rest of the usual stuff. You should also check out adslguide.org.uk for further comparisons. Cheers, Tam.

It's no different from setting up ADSL with any other ISP in the UK who gets connectivity from BT Wholesale (which means virtually every ISP in the UK at present). IIRC (I have 16 IPs with Nildram, so my user experience will differ from yours if you only have 1 IP), you'll stick router RJ11 in wall socket, other end in ethernet device (workstation, firewall, switch, whatever) and you should set the router up in bridge mode to let the ethernet device pick up the Demon IP (unless it's a NATting router and you want it to do NAT for you, in which case let it pick up the Demon IP). -- _ __/| William Anderson | Brodie: The Force is strong with this one \`O_o' neuro at well dot com |Jay: Dude, don't encourage him =(_ _)= http://neuro.me.uk/ | -- Mallrats, (1995) U - Thhbt!

Re: [Scottish] [Fwd: Demon ADSL]
Yeah, I use demon with a etec wirelesss router, and it just plain damn works. simple case of entering ISP details and bobs your uncle, auntie or relative of your choice. I have only a single ip from demon, however, it would be simple to cater for multiple ips (with the etec unit anyway) If you have not already got your router give serious consideation to getting an etec 38xx router (they have noraml ethernet, integrated 4p hub, and wireless flavoured ones). I install them all the time and wont let the company buy any other type, since they are easy to set up with basic configuration, they plain damn work, and if you are looking for more advanced options, I pretty much covers everything, such as virtual servers (port forwarding) nat, bridge filtering, etc. But if your just wanting a basic setup, you just ignore al l the other options in the web based config and put in your isp details Ian Robertson wrote: Has anyone set up adsl on Demon with Linux.

D-Link 50x series are also pretty good. David ___ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
