If that were the case, great :-)  My ADSL modem is about 20 metres away
between a wall, and has been running fine for the last year with the
cordless phones.  Its only since DSLAM has come in :-(  Guess I will have to
call iiNet and see what they say.

Question for those on iiNet Broadband...

[Karl Videmanis]

Hi Rod

I'm on the Bateman exchange and haven't had that problem. I know I had 
a noise on the line problem a year ago - turned out to be the fact that 
my cordless phone base station was sitting on my ADSL modem. Hence the 
ADSL modem now lives on the floor under my desk.


I tell you what is great about the new DSLAM - firstly, my upload speed 
doesn't appear to be as limited - I often get uploads around 100KB/s 
sustained.


Then last week when I upgraded to a 1500K line, the changeover took 
about half an hour!


Now I'm looking forward to iiNet being able to offer some 2Meg and 6Meg 
lines at really cheap prices!


Cheers
Karl



Hi All!

Just a quickie for the morning.  Is anyone here have iiNet's broadband
account *and* are located in the area that has been converted to the 
new

DSLAM (iinet's own broadband, rather than Telstra's)?

We have noticed in the last few weeks since the Bateman exchange has 
been
converted that there is a lot of noise coming through the phones now.  
I
have replaced the filters, checked the phone lines running around the 
house.

And I have also turned the ADSL modem off, which results in the noise
disappearing.

From memory the problem started about the time the exchange was 
swapped.


Anyone else?

Seeya

Rod!

You will find that you can access the DSL-300 configuration by any
browser on your Mac using the address of 192.168.0.1 providing you
have un checked 'Connect by PPPoE" in Network preferences.

Also, you will find that you can connect to iiNet Broadband by
again having the above un checked and then moving to the TCP/IP
section and changing Configure 'Using PPP' to 'Using DHCP' as it
will then make the connection automatically.

If you find any of the above does not work then try it again after
disconnecting the power to the modem for about 20 seconds in order
to reset it and then giving it time to establish the connection
again.

 Thanks Shay. If we have another disconnect I shall attach the modem
 directly to the PC and give it a go. If that doesn't work I can use
 the Toshiba laptop but I shall have to find a serial cable.

 We are also considering buying a new combined modem-router, less junk
 on the desk and I am  told if we ever get ADSL2 the present setup
 won't work.

[Shay Telfer]

On a slightly different but maybe related topic:

We have been experiencing periodic loss of ADSL connectivity in the 
last couple of weeks with no real explanation. The boys at Computer 
Trade Centre suggested it could be the problem mentioned on D-Link 
Tech Support to do with upgraded or new DSLAM.


http://www.dlink.com.au/tech/drivers/files/routers/troubleshootingADSL.htm

At the moment I am connected and I am not going to try anything yet

Does anyone know if I can access the modem's command line using 
Terminal? There was a suggestion that I would need to use a PC!

I have a DSL-300, other modems listed are DSL-300+, DSL-500 & 
DSL-504. I think we are on Maylands exchange.


In answer to the other comments iinet started a new anti-spam system 
on November 15th.

Interesting !

Sounds like the circuitry of the new Dslam in the exchange
has an " unbalanced " output , thus causing problems that
APPEAR to come from a different location .

I am keen to hear the end result !
