Re: connection woes

[Severin Crisp]

I have an even zanier working system!  A central splitter filter has  
the security system on one branch and another line with four phones at  
various well spread locations in two buildings, each with its own  
filter.  Yet another line has another splitter/filter on it with the  
ADSL ethernet router on one arm and the filtered side goes to the  
modem in our G3 iMac for sending faxes.  Additionally an Airport  
Extreme Base station is into the router.   Wonder of wonders, it all  
works fine.

For what it is worth I have a central splitter as you described that  
sends one ADSL line to my study and the other line takes three  
phones without filters.  The ADSL line coming into my study has a  
splitter that gives an ADSL connection to my modem and a telephone  
connection to my phone/fax.  Seems to work.

The central fllter/splitter sits just after the wire comes into the  
house, especially designed for this according to the very highly  
priced linesman who set it up.


Then, Westnet support people kept nagging, you have got to have  
filters on the lines..so I don't know!!


In any case, one particular phone unplugged and all (seems to be)  
well

Hi Rosemary

How is your inline filter connected  ?   Was it wired in or is  
it done via cords ?


Who did the wiring ?

There is a chance that the wiring for it does not go through the  
filter !  ?

Hi Rosemary !

As a retired Telstra Tech with 43 years experience I have seen  
plenty of places

where things were not what they should have been .
So I had to ask the question !

At this stage with your problem ... one phone unplugged which may be  
causing problems  ...


I want to suggest to you that having additional filters after the  
Hard Wired filter may in itself

under some circumstances cause a problem .

The one good quality filter is all that is needed .  There have been  
occasions where a filter has been found faulty .

And not all filters are necessarily of the best quality .

Recently I rearranged my set up so that I now have just the one new  
hard wired filter with 3 phones on line .

Recent speed tests to my ISP show I achieve 1536 KB .

In earlier days I was getting only about 1200 KB .
Perhaps something else has altered but I am suspicious that it is   
the new filter that has produced the improved line speed .


Hopefully your filter will appear on the approved list at this  
address :




I am using the C10 Communications C10100E .
The same splitter is being sold at Office works under the name of  
Jackson .


Cheers

Bob

Re: connection woes

I've got a Netgear DG834G on ADSL2 and so far, touch wood, it's been  
bullet-proof. So I'd recommend it as an option if you're in the  
market for a new modem/adsl router. Best price I've seen is from  
Foxcomp http://www.foxcomp.com.au/ in Hilton, near Freo. I find  
pricespy (www.pricespy.com.au) very helpful for finding good prices  
for gear. I've also seen them well priced in JB HiFi in Cannington,  
but that was a month or two back now.

Can't connect at all with airport, now using wireless from netcom.

Anyone any ideas..please!!

Also it seems there might be a trick to connecting airport to this

Re: connection woes

Apparently some cordless phones cause havoc with adsl 2 but not so  
much with adsl 1.


The connection to the adsl is dropping out all the time, with the  
ethernet cable connected to either computer...or over the wireless.  
The modem router is new (2 days old at the point!


I have no idea what connection I would need to change on either  
router or airport I certainly didn't change anthing on the old  
modems..and just tried everything the techies suggested.


Why would phone plugged into power affect anything?

Best thing to do is, as someone else has already said, test with an  
ethernet cable direct to your router.  Your internet connection  
certainly shouldn't have any effect on your wireless as that should  
operate independently.


Have you changed any of your router settings since your upgrade or  
were you supposed to change any settings and haven't done so yet?


Do you have any cordless phones and if so have you tried turning  
them off at the powerpoint as well as unplugging the phone  
connection?


Permanent loss of wireless probably means you changed your wireless  
settings on your router to something wrong or your router is  
stuffed or just not very well designed and falls apart when  
something is wrong.

Since Saturday we've had a real problem with our westnet  
connection. Boost (1.5Mb to 8Mb/384k - 7GB/10GB)


I have a macbook pro (2.6 Intel core 2 Duo), my husband macbook  
both running Leopard (10.5.3), usually connect via  Airport  
Express wirelessly


The connection dropped out completely. After re-starting the modem  
a number or times, and trying with direct connection, still no go,  
I contacted Westnet.


Over the following days

Techie suggested modem (Alcatel Speedtouch Home) was probably no  
good (though lights on etc) , so I borrowed my daughters (same  
model) .. same result.


Bought Netcomm NB%Plus 4 W wireless modem router from Office  
works, still no joy


More techies, played with settings eventually connected (sort of)  
with PPOA.


Rang again, slow, dropping out, before even one web page loaded,  
or 1 email.


Tried unplugging all phones even though there's a proper adsl  
filter on the line and filters on other phone points.


Can only connect intermittently, dropping out. when connecting  
there's packet loss anything from 5 out of 9 eg


9 packets transmitted, 7 packets received, 22% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 20.0/21.4/30.0 ms

Can't connect at all with airport, now using wireless from netcom.

Anyone any ideas..please!!

Also it seems there might be a trick to connecting airport to this  
modem ..anyone any ideas of settings?

Re: connection woes

[Roger Kortas]

I have had problems with my Macbook Pro ever since I moved from Tiger  
to Leopard, Some times it would work fine and then could not connect  
for days or weeks so I decided to use a cable instead!!  Defeats the  
purpose of a laptop I think!!


The symptoms would be having a self assigned IP address and not being  
able to get an address from the DHCP server/router.


Yours might be a different problem but it sounds a lot like mine :(

Re: connection woes

[James / Hans Kunz]

are you sure your phone line is ok, corroded wires?, poor connection  
in plug? (can be a fault telstra has to fix if its outside in the  
ground) dial just one zero & listen to the few second quiteness if  
you hear a hiss or crackle then the line has a fault (westnet would  
have to arrange the repair
also are you sure you have all phones & filters removed/disconnected  
before testing, a faulty filter can cause this sort of problems

cheers James

Re: connection woes

[Robert Howells]

Hi Rosemary

here are two reference points to look at if you need a filter or modem :

Whirlpool at

and Telstra recommended filters at	 


1.
As you have filters I conclude you have a landline phone  has that  
gone scratchy or noisy AT ALL

about the time you started having trouble ?

2.
You are using 10.5.3
Try turning OFF the IPV6 in your Networks preferences !?

3.
You could try setting one Mac up using only ethernet exclusively to  
prove it is the Modem / line

that is the problem

Bob
