Static IP and VDSL modem

I am upgrading to eFibre this week and already have a static IP address. Do I need to set the static IP adress somewhere in my router/modem? Thanks

Hi carrollf
A new modem will be provided for eFibre so storing the static IP in your old one will not be needed - If you take note if the IP itself and once installed contact technical support directly they will be able to re-assign it for you.
You can reach technical support via webchat at www.eircom.ie/chatnow or on free phone 1901

  • Alternative VDSL Modem/Router for Infinity

    Hi,
    I'm using BT Infinity and am thinking about replacing the Home Hub and VDSL modem with an alternative. Ideally I want a combined unit so it will probably be a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390 as there isn't a vast amount of choice at the moment (hurry up Draytek). So I have a couple of questions:
    Has anybody done this? I'm not interested if you've just replaced the router, but has anyone replaced both the modem and the router or just the modem?
    Does anyone know if there's any reason why it would not be possible (does the BT equipment do anything special or identify itself in some way)?
    Does anyone know the correct Modem settings?
    Thanks,
    LJ

    I have just purchased the Fritz!box 7390 VDSL Integrated system to replace the two boxes you get with Infinity. However, irrespective of what configuration I enter into the new router I am unable to actually login.
    It certainly sees BT Infinity and I am getting connectivity at layer 2 and the new Router is showing good upstream and downstream speeds, but I cannot login with either the default credentials or the BT credentials provided to me when I bought the service!
    Anyone know how to get this router or any other router working and with what settings, cause I think I have tried them all..LOL
    Thanks in advance G

  • VDSL modem in sync, HH3 and HH2v2 power cycles int...

    Dear All, Firstly this is my first post on the forums so hello to all. On to my topic, A friend of mine has a very very interesting FTTC fault. The VDSL modem is in sync, but the HH3 from 3 blue lights, will suddenly shut off and restart. This happens any ware between every 10-45 mins. Here is the fun bit: Engineers have replaced the modem and the HH3 3 times. They have even tried a HH2 infinity router which lasted longer than the 3 but to no avail. The modem and Router are both plugged into a surge protector. They have both been tried on regular sockets. The VDSL modem is always happy, in sync but the routers are being power cycled. There is no line issues, no CRCs as the engineers have said. The speeds to the VDSL modem are all fine, and the speed of the BB is working fine, its just the random power cycling of the routers that has everyone stumped. Yes its been turned off and on Yes its all plugged in Yes all cables have been tried and tested One Ethernet device, other wireless laptops There is no trigger, weather simple MSN text or HD streaming there seems to be no trigger as such for the router So tech guys, i would not bother you with a simple one, here is the mystery, whats the theory's?

    After a worrying start very nice replies thanks guys! so firstly
    @ HH replacements he had one, BT sent him one and the engineer used one. I know for a fact these are all from different batches.
    @ channel changing Not only would the amount of random channels the smart wireless would have been using with the ammount of swaps, the engineer set the wireless channel whilst doing interrogations on the router.
    @ electircal supply Here was the ebst bit, the engineer knows about REIN (f Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise). In the room with the router there are LOTS of powerboards and power adaptors link multiple supplys. There are pets, a pc, standard sky tv boxs and relavant go withs. SO yeah lots of stuff. The uncle is a sparky, checked the house and said all good. We have a UPS (i think thats what it is called) which can deliver a constant voltage no matter what, even from that it was going fine then boom power cycle.
    Feed back from 12 hour obs: The HH2 apparently has made it much more berable, taking around an hour or more till it resets. Engineer came round and did a lift and shift to get a new port from the dslam. At that point the engineer had been told he had to leave, but he justified it. There was nothing else that they can do, port, line, socket, HH modem have all been eliminated from the enquiery.
    At this point the router had been moved by the enginner to the best poisbble location in the lounge for it to not be near a source of potential REIN. Then he told us that he wanted to find out what the problem was because it was a "mystery" and he was interested. He told about REIN and how to test for it (AKA long time of having not a lot plugged in and before anyone got mad (and lets be real this guy was not just going to come over and say "sorry man we don't know how to fix this" ) he also advised us to talk to our Service provide (aka BTR ) and to tell them what the issues are. So what do people think of this ?

  • VDSL modem/routers and FTTC self-install

    Has anybody seen any more information related to this story? The possibility of using VDSL combined modem/routers and customer self-installation looks interesting.

    Can see it now;
    Customer: I was told I should get 76/19 but at best get 7/0.9
    Engineer: Lets have a look at your set up.
    Customer: Well, there is the master socket, well what I think is the master socket (the actual master socket is normally hidden away behind a wall unit) with an FTTC Filter, I then have a double adaptor with a 25 metre untwisted aliminium extension reel I bought from Wilko's. On the end of that is another FTTC Filter with 2 adaptors squeezed into it for my Sky Box, phone and another 10 metre untwisted aliminium extension reel which lead to yet another FTTC Filter with my VDSL Modem on it.
    That's not funny, I've already seen so called engineer installed FTTC connections like that. Hate to think what it's going to be like with self install (Nightmare I think).

  • TC in Bridge Mode with ISP router vs TC as Ethernet with VDSL modem

    Hi, I have a time capsule. It's the newest generation of the old shape/design - i.e second to newest version. It's running 7.6.4. firmware.
    I recently updgraded my ISP to Fibre VDSL and the ISP sent me a crappy router with a built-in modem that you have to use. I checked the ISP support forums and found plenty of advice to configure the TC over ethernet with this router using the DMZ of the router etc. Anyway, I got it all working but i wasn't happy. port forwarding was a pain and you end up with double NAT issue - not surprising.
    The alternative config was to switch the TC to 'bridge mode' so the crappy ISP router does the NAT / DHCP, port forwarding, dpnp, internet routing. I got this all working and i have made sure that all of my network nodes/clients (wired and wifi) are all off the TC and only use the ISP router for internet, dhcp etc. This is all working with good speeds, solid internet access but...
    Major issues with airplay (use this a lot) and also with stuff like facetime etc. The connection is much faster (40mbps down/10mbps up) than my old ASDL setup but as I said, key services that I use are not as stable.
    I think my only alternative solution is to buy a VDSL modem seperately and use the TC as the router i.e. go back to my old config with TC doing all the routing, port forwarding etc.
    Does anyone here have a view as to whether this is worth trying? I'm hoping that it if the TC is doing all the routing, I will get less drop outs and services will work as they should. On the other hand, I hoped airplay would be OK as it's a wifi/Lan service rather than WAN but I have had quite a few issues.
    Appreciate any help with this and sorry for the lengthy note!
    Jata.

    In theory, you will do better by using a simple bridge mode modem and then setting up the Time Capsule as the router to provide DHCP and NAT services.
    But, as you might imagine, it is not possible to predict whether your results will actually be better using this type of setup.
    Worth a try, in my opinion, if you can find a store that will let you return the modem for credit if it does not do what you want.
    Even a simple modem will still likely have to be configured to operate in bridge mode, but the setup should only take a few minutes using the web based configuration interface.
    Let us know how things are working if you can, if you decide to the try the simple modem approach.

  • VDSL Modem issues

    I have had Infinity for about two years and it has been solid - until about three months ago when I started losing access. Firstly about once per week, now up to two or three times a day. Each time the vDSL modem needs a restart (not the HH or Router) and everything is the OK. Sometimes the DSL light goes off on the modem when the problem occurs, sometimes not.
    It is possible to retrieve logs from the vDSL modem? Any other issues I should be looking for?
    My PC and devices are both wired and wireless, but it is connectivity from the modem to the cabinet that is lost, not connectivity from the devices to the router.

    Hi CharlesElliott
    Hopefully your IP profile has not been compromised by all of the dropouts. Have you checked that?

    Run the first test and then Further Diagnostics to reveal your profile details.

  • VDSL Modem

    Hi,
    My VDSL modem as gone ti* up.
    I do not wish to purchased from ebay is there any official outlet where Im able to purchase a BT Openreach VDSL modem?
    if the answer is no, can any inform me how I am then able to use my own router? Im not techincal so require VERY simply replies
    Can you use the HH5 but disable the router element so you are just using the modem for example?
    Thnak to all in advance
    Lee

    As stjp has said, if you want an official white openreach modem, then your only real avenue is to purchase one off of that well-known auction site.
    That having been said, if you do a search for VDSL modem routers, then there are some options from the major manufacturers.
    What I would suggest is to go to one of the specialist suppliers, such as broadband buyer and speak with one of their sales agents, who can suggest an all-in-one unit that meets both your needs and ultimately, your budget.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Help!! Static sound and Lock ups

    I recently updated to the newest Ipod Mini version software 1.4. and when i play the songs on my ipod i get static sounding sounds and when i look at the display timer, it looks like the ipod i slowing down.
    Also i'm getting lockups when i'm browsing.
    Ipod service told me to restore the ipod, and i have 3 times, 1 to the factory software version, and twice to the newer version. It didn't help, as i'm still hearing static sounds, and I've switched headphones and headphone jacks, and it still doesn't help.

    the exact same thing happened to me. Mine is an original mini which needless to say is out of warranty, so I need an answer that is not "replace the hardware". Is there a way to restore it to a previous version of the software?

  • Hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works

    hi i got a new airport express for christmas and i set it up as per instructions ,i even give a static ip and wpa2 security ..the problem is is when i come to want to use it it says its not on my network and a orange triangle shows .when i reboot it works..then if i leave it a while and try iy agian its disapeared of my network...i have a bt hub 3 ....any help please ..im not sure if itsa faulty express

    I really don't have an answer for that one. I guess that while trying to get things working correctly, I would use the most basic monitor I had which in your case would be the Eizon using the Thunderbolt port and adaptor.
    When you boot into Safe Mode the startup is quite slow, but you should get the Apple logo and then the spinning gear below it (release the SHIFT key when it appears.) Then after a little more time you should see a gray progress bar appear below the spinning gear. When that disappears the computer will startup to a login screen.

  • Snow Leopard and GSM Modems (Vodafone)

    I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I'd like to share my experience with GSM (GPRS/3G) modems and Mac OS X. The main reason for doing this is the fact that I wasn't able to find any related information for my issues on the web and I think I'm not the only one with those issues. Feel free to post any feedback here
    Few months ago I started using a 3G modem with my Macbook Air. The service provider is Vodafone and the modem is incorrectly marketed by Vodafone on the web as a Huawei device (E169), but it is a ZTE K3656-Z modem (I'm not sure if the companies are different or if the hardware is, in fact, different, but the kernel module is definitely different :D).
    The first thing that annoyed me is the Vodafone Mobile Connect application. The 'response time' between plugging in the modem and actually getting online is quite big, and I really wanted to get it out of my way. I'm not using any SMS functionality, so from my point of view, the application was totally pointless. When you plug in the modem, it acts as an external CD Drive. If the Vodafone Mobile Connect application is installed, it will automatically eject (unmount) the drive. Unfortunately,
    this usually (not all the time, but quite often) generates a crash in diskutil (quite annoying).
    But what annoyed me the most, was the fact that, when online, the Vodafone application was taking at least 35% of my CPU. Now, this is unacceptable Under normal load (Safari, Adium), this was quite acceptable. But under slightly higher load, the CPU was getting quite hot, causing the kernel_task to try to slow down the system (and cool down the CPU) by taking about 135% of CPU (according to Activity Monitor) and making the system unusable. Of course, another side effect was the cooler running at 6400 RPM, faster battery drain and generally, making the system quite unusable. My 1st Generation Macbook Air wasn't able to deal with all that
    When I first saw the high CPU usage by the Vodafone application, I immediately thought of the old 56Kb WinModems Back then, it was quite a common practice to develop modems that would use the CPU to compress/decompress or process the data/sound in order to make the modem as cheap as possible, but inflicting a huge system slow down - Yes, I'm that old :P
    Given that experience with those modems, I figured that the Vodafone application was somehow doing that as a 'user space module' Boy, was I wrong
    So, this is what I did: First of all, you need to properly identify the GSM modem. In order to do this (no Terminal involved) is to set up connection using Vodafone Mobile Connect, then using the System Preferences, head over to Network and check the available interfaces (no, this is not a tutorial, but a guide :P ). You should see either a Huawei Modem or ZTEUSBModem/ZTEUSBATPort. Keep in mind the modem you have, then disconnect. At this point, you need to use the Vodafone application to change the PIN settings on your SIM card. Use the application (Preferences -> PIN) and disable PIN check. Now you can safely remove the Vodafone application
    The second step is to install the proper modules/drivers/kexts for this. You can either get them from the web (at this point, you already know what modem you have) or you can use the packages located inside the Vodafone Mobile Connect application installer. To do this, simply use 'Show Contents' of the installer, then locate the packages (pkg) inside the Resources folder for your modem (the names are quite clear :P). Install that package and you'll have the modem drivers installed on your system.
    Once the modem drivers are installed, when you connect the GSM modem, the external CD Drive will 'mount'. Eject it and wait a little bit (few seconds) until the SIM card is initialized and the modem is available. Go to System Preferences -> Network and add a new interface using ZTEUSBModem (not ZTEUSBATPort). Set it up as a Generic Modem, GPRS Modem and configure it with your provider settings (APN, username, password). Set the dial up number as *99# (you can find a lot of tutorials on the web about setting this up - the tricky part was installing the proper modules and disabling the PIN check). You may now connect.
    The downside of this is the fact that you need to manually eject the drive when connecting the modem, otherwise you won't get the modem functionality, no SMS functionality and no PIN security.
    The upside is a very quiet system (the fan runs at 2400 RPM as opposed to 6400 RPM), a fast one (I can't see any noticeable slow down at all) and better battery life time.
    I'm not sure what is the effect on other systems, but my 1st Generation Macbook Air was totally unusable after few minutes of online time. Now it works perfectly
    I really hope that this is useful for other people Feel free to ask any question, I'm aware that my 'tutorial' skills are quite poor :P

    Oh, I forgot to mention: This works both on Leopard and Snow Leopard (tested on both systems). I've used the modem drivers located inside the Vodafone Mobile Connect installer (I couldn't find any ZTE modem drivers on the web).

  • When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    Static => same value for all instances of the class.
    Non-static => each instance can have its own value.
    Which you need in which circumstances is completely up to you.

  • Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

    Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.

  • PAP2 and compatable modem/router

    I purchased a PAP2 and my modem doesn't have an Ethernet port. Can someone recommend a modem that will enable me to connect my new PAP2 and my PC. Do I need a modem/router? Prefer non wireless.

    Hi....
    Depending on your ISP you can go for a modem or a router. If your ISP is a cable connection then you can go in for BEFCMU10 a Linksys cable modem. If your ISP is a DSL connection then you can in go BEFSR41 which is also a Linksys Cable DSL router. Also make sure that your computer has an Ethernet port. If you do not have one then you can go in for LNE100TX which is a Linksys Ethernet adapter.

  • Static class and clustering

              I have a static class that I use to cache some values during a batch process. The
              batch process uses a JMS queue to parcel our identical units of work to MDBs.
              I want this to scale using a cluster with the same MDBs on multiple machines.
              Everything works fine except that I can't figure out how to tell my cache to clear
              itself out on every node between batch runs. Is there a pattern or solution to
              this problem?
              What I've tried is to create a stateless session bean method that clears my cache.
              At the begining of my batch job, (which is a stateless session bean call) I call
              this method on each server in the cluster by getting the remote interface for
              the stateless bean via the different URLs of the servers. However, the session
              bean method always executes on the one server where I make the call. It's as if
              WebLogic gives me back a local interface instead of the remote interface that
              I asked for.
              Any ideas would be appreciated.

    ... static class and static method.I have never heard of a thing called "static class". Perhaps you mean a class with only static members?
    My design approach (which is bound to needs of the moment and seldom to library-development or future re-use, since both is harder than most developers realize) is to develop straight without caring too much about static or not. When a method is done, debugged and works well, it happens that other objects access this method as well.
    It may happen that I just want to use this single method and almost nothing else of the object. If that is the case, I can start looking if it's a Good Thing(tm) to make the method static, so no object creation is needed just for the one method. Sometimes it can be done, sometimes not.
    But that's just me and you'll find quite a lot of coders that'll advice you to decide what's static and what not before you start coding. And that's as good an advice as most others you can get.
    In the end it's your decision, so start fiddling around and see what fits best for you.

  • Search static pages AND database tables

    Hi,
    I'm working on a project in which I have static content
    pages, plus I'm creating a set of dynamic pages that display jobs
    and events listings etc. The dynamic pages are going to run off an
    access database.
    I'm need to create a search facility on the site. At present
    I'm planning to use a drop down box (or radio buttons ?) to allow
    the user to select which part of the site to search (main site,
    jobs or events), the selection will determine which search page the
    form query is passed to (site text search or database query search
    page).
    Am I approaching this correctly.
    Can anyone comment on possibly a better or alternative way of
    providing such a search option ? (searching both static pages and
    database tables)
    Thanks in advance.

    I guess something like <cffile action="read"
    file="C:\docs\shopping.html" variable="shoppingList">. Is there
    a way to do multiple files at once?
