Hi James, Here are the generic settings as listed on Bigpond (after much digging around - they don't make it straightforward to use any modems but the ones they supply!): Settings Response ADSL Username usern...@bigpond.com Password your password Encapsulation PPPoA VCMUX PPPOE/LLC NOTE: We recommend using PPPoA/VC Mux as it tends to be (theoretically) a little faster for customers though both should work fine Authentication method CHAP ADSL1: G.DMT (This modulation will only allow speeds up to 8Mb/s ADSL2+: Select ADSL2+ or Auto VPI (Virtual path identifier) 8 VCI (Virtual channel identifier) 35 Modem IP 10.0.0.138 (2wire, Siemens, Thomson) From my experience, the settings that make the difference are the VPI and VCI settings.
