BTBroagband and WinMe
The BT Home Hub is a combined adsl modem, router, wireless access point,
internet phone (VOIP) and BT's digital TV service/ IPTV (not sure whether that it the correct term to describe BT Vision). -- Mike M N. Miller wrote: When you say Modem and Router what it means? The DSL modem is the device which handles the ISP connection. Mine is external; most common in the U.S. Phone port on one side connects to a wall jack, Ethernet port on the other side connects to any device with an Ethernet port. My WinMe computer has already Modem working OK. and trying to connect the machine to BTBroadband Via BTHomeHub Ver 2.o T9J3? Do I need some more other device? Internal modem? Unfortunately, that changes things, and I don't really know what to offer next. What you are now describing sounds less like a DSL issue, and more like a networking issue. Is this BTHomeHub an Ethernet hub? I once connected two Windows ME computers using a hub, and a dial-up modem in one of the computers. I was able to get Windows ME "ICS" ("Internet Connection Sharing") to work with that configuration. |

AAH,
Thanks, now we are getting somewhere. Everything there suggests you have a working connection between your Home Hub and Win Me. The Home Hub, or gateway is showing as being at 192.168.1.254 which is correct for a Home Hub, likewise the DHCP server and that the DHCP server has allocated the Win Me box an IP address of 192.168.1.65. If you weren't connected you would have either seen no IP address allocated or possibly an address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range and no entry for Gateway, DHCP or DNS server. Now that we've established that your Win Me PC is connected to the Home Hub we can try a few tests. Firstly, from a DOS prompt what do you see if you enter at the DOS prompt: PING 192.168.1.254 PING 216.239.59.105 PING www.google.com Then open your browser and enter the following in the address bar and click return: http://192.168.1.254 http://216.239.59.105 http://www.google.com Hopefully we might get a clue to the problem when we know what happens when you try the tests I've listed above.

Spot on. AAH has now posted details from winipcfg and this shows that the NIC has been allocated an IP address and shows the hub (192.168.1.254) as the Gateway, DHCP and DNS addresses. You may need to chip in now as I wonder if there is a Home Hub setting that is blocking access despite the hub allocating the Win Me PC an IP address. And mine whistles "Dixie" on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. D**n clever these BT HomeHubs. Very clever. I wonder what I need to do to get my Netgear DG200N to play Land of Hope & Glory g. Perhaps I need to play. Not sure though about it doing it only on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. I'll need to think more about that! vbg -- Mike Mart wrote: Mike wrote :- The BT Home Hub is a combined adsl modem, router, wireless access point, internet phone (VOIP) and BT's digital TV service/ IPTV (not sure whether that it the correct term to describe BT Vision).

Isn't there a setting in IE Internet OptionsConnections that has to be
changed from modem to LAN or something? Just a thought. Sorry for the top post. Godfrey "Mike M" wrote in message ... Hope that confirms your expectations. Spot on.

Godfrey,
Thanks for that and is one of the reasons why I have asked first for some test using PING and then the same tests using a browser however if IE was configured to always use a dial-up connection I hope that AAH would have mentioned that DUN was popping up each time he tried to use his browser.. -- Mike Maltby Godfrey Wilkes wrote: Isn't there a setting in IE Internet OptionsConnections that has to be changed from modem to LAN or something?

"IC plus IP 100 10/100 fast ethernet" is the one we are interested in. The other is probably a dial-up modem. PPP being Point to Point Protocol which is used when making a connection over a telephone's voice link. I thought I had sent this earlier but instead it seems it went to my drafts folder. I probably clicked the wrong button. -- Mike AAH wrote: Mike The dropdown box in the middle of screen has abreviated name of the adapter "IC plus IP 100 10/100 fast ethernt" and the second name "PPP Adapter" |
