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).


IPTV is the generic term for Television delivered over phone lines; using
VDSL, I believe. In the U.S., Qwest was doing it, but I think they stopped.
AT&T sells IPTV as "Uverse". Actually, I think "Uverse" is a "Triple Play"
product: Internet, telephone, and television. AT&T calls their modem device
a, "residential gateway". However, I am not close enough to the VRAD (the
VDSL DSLAM) to get it, so I only have ADSL, connecting to a DSLAM over 9,156
feet out. AAH's reference to an internal modem wasn't clear to me; I thought
he meant the DSL modem was an internal device.

Yeah - I'm well-aware of BT's password 'policy of generic passwords'
What I was trying to get at is that there appears to be a proxy server of
some kind in the ME machine which appears to be demanding a password?
(particularly in view of the lattes response to Mike)
either that or DNS in the ME Machine is borked :/

Noel,

The password is 'built-in' to the BT HomeHub router and is intended for
use on BT Broadband only :-

*Password*: Display the broadband password used by your Hub. Note that for
the BT Broadband service, the default broadband username and password set
into your Hub do not need to be changed. If not password is set (i.e.
blank password), *Not Configured* will be displayed

This should not be confused with an e-mail account Logon and Password of
course.

The password is on the router - \if there's some form of password on the
PC, then there's something desperately wrong with your setup!
DELETE ALL DUN ENTRIES
set DUN to never dial
Set LAN options to default (uncheck everything)
retry

Is it this has something to do with the
change of password.
My password is still the same set by
BT?
Do I have to change it?

AAH,

And the results of the 3 PING and 3 Browser tests I asked you to carry
out was what?

If the PING tests are OK and the browser tests all fail then open
Internet Options (Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options)
and go to the Connections tab. Click LAN Settings and ensure that
"Automatically detect settings" is checked and that the "Proxy server"
box is unchecked. If there is an entry in the Dial-up and VPN settings
then click the button "Never dial a connection" or possibly "Dial
whenever a network connection is not present" if you sometimes still
want to use dial-up and your ADSL connection is down.

Hopefully this should help resolve your problem although it would
probably have been a bit quicker if you had answered my questions and
also mentioned that the DUN connectoid was popping up each time you
were attempting to use your browser.

Best of luck.

Yes the DUN was poppingup so often and
to stop that I deleted my DUN email?

It seems a small part of my earlier message went missing.

the box "Use a proxy server for your LAN ..." is NOT checked and that

should have continued to say
"Automatically detect settings " is UNchecked.

Sorry about that.

AAH,

This demonstrates, as did winipcfg, that your Win Me PC has no problem
communicating with both your router and the internet (216.239.59.105
being Google). This suggests to me that the problem has little or
nothing to do with the BT Home Hub or your ADSL connection also
winipcfg showed that Win Me is using the router as its DNS server.

It seems that networking on Win Me when using your browser is fubared.

I suspect the problem could be that Win Me is configured to use what
is called a proxy that is now no longer available. Could you please
confirm that at Internet Options | Connections | LAN settings that
the box "Use a proxy server for your LAN ..." is NOT checked and that

Do you have a third party firewall installed on your Win Me PC? What
anti-virus application do you have installed?

If everything looks to be OK and you still cannot access the net
using your browser then I suggest we rebuild the winsock stack. Do
this by downloading on another machine that can access the net the
file LSPFix.exe from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm. Move the
downloaded file LSPFix.exe to your Win Me PC desktop using a usb pen
drive and then run this file. Now try accessing www.google.com using
your browser. Does this help?

I'm sorry that you're experiencing health problems and hope that
things improve for you soon. "Automatically detect settings" is
checked.

AAH,

My apologies for leaving you stranded, I've been busy elsewhere for a few
days.

I'm sorry that using LSPFix hasn't fixed your problems as using this to
rebuild the winsock stack usually works however there have been one or two
cases where, like your own, it has failed. In some of those cases running
the alternative w2fix.exe, which can be downloaded from
http://www.bu.edu/techhelp/interneta...nsock2fix.html, has fixed the
problem. The site also gives instructions on how to use w2fix.exe. Please
make sure you read them before you run w2fix.exe. May I also strongly
recommend that you create a system restore checkpoint before running
w2fix.exe "just in case".

Best of luck,

Mike M

AAH,

At last! Thanks so very much for letting us all know that you've managed to
fix the networking problems you were having with your PC running Win Me.
Perhaps I should have suggested using w2fix.exe earlier but felt it
important that we try the more usual fixes as in my experience only a few
cases require the use of w2fix.exe. It appears that yours was one of these.

Thanks for the best wishes, I hope you are also feeling better. You know
that you can always ring me if you have a problem although I may be unable
to help and simply point you towards the newsgroups.
