...except for IPTV. When offered, it will require Sonic equipment end to end, including a set-top box and a Sonic modem. Just FYI.
Well, that depends on how long it'll be before the IPTV feature is available. One could turn your argument around -- if it takes more than, say, half a year before Sonic deploys IPTV, it would be wasteful and frustrating to have paid the Pace rental fee for all that time, instead of buying an inexpensive modem now and only ordering the Pace when and if you need it.dane wrote:I'm raising the issue because it'd be a shame for someone to buy a modem, then to end up discarding it because they wanted IPTV later. That'd be wasteful and potentially frustrating.
Are you connected directly to the modem, or are you using a router? Make sure you connect directly to the modem for initial setup.dubose wrote:I purchased a D-Link dsl520b modem a couple of days after I spoke with you and I have not been able to get it to work.

Okay, you may want to double check the address you're typing in. It should be 192.168.1.1 for the web interface of Dlink modems. That is slightly different than the IP address you posted.dubose wrote:I have tried to access the router via the 198.162.1.1 website address before plugging in the dsl connection to the wall plate but again I get the same error message of either "page took to long to load" or "unable to open website" or something similar to those. I will try your suggestions and report back.

Did you manually configure your computer for an IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 range? If you are going to bridge the DSL-520B, you are going to disable DHCP and DNS on the modem. If you fail to configure the computer's network adapter manually, you won't get in. I set mine at 192.168.1.100.Now, re your ?'s #1) yes I am connected directly to the modem. #2) All lights are lit except for the internet lamp.

Hi Dennis,dubose wrote:IT WORKS!!!!! I tried all your suggestions and to my amazement I was able to get on the net. I would never have been able to figure out how to do it by myself.
