Ok, next installment 3.15pm. Trawled round CBN for a while as never much time to do that normally, and found interesting post from Helen about getting your ADSL working, bizarrely under ICT Funding, subject mesh network! Useful stuff, if that was the prob but it isn't.
So, phoned Phone Co-op after reading two ofcom reports about working out value of BT's copper network (that's easy - zero except as second hand copper for making garden statues from), and their strategic review of telecoms, drinking several cups of tea, and working out the IP address for the router had to be wrong. Ipconfig /all and bingo, I'm into the router on 2.254, not 1.254. Gordon, who is very nice and patient as he rightly assumes I am an idiot as far as setting up ADSL and dealing with BT goes ;o) suggests I re-enter password etc just in case.
Reboot router after changing settings again, he talks to ADSL team who say there is no IP address being dished out as it is trying to authenticate on the radius server with wrong password still. Joel phones. We walk through it all over again, and nope, nowt. Upstream of 288, down 576, but can't access Net as no IP!
Lucky I never thought this would be easy. Right, let's phone Gordon again.........maybe I did need this phone line after all..........
