To make a long story less long, I'm trying to get a Netgear 834G (firmware updated to 4.01.28) to work on AOL UK for someone where I work. The jist is I plug in the settings, give it to them and they take it home. This instance is causing me problems though
The user assures me that the screen name is correct but at first had no luck with the username and password I put in
I gave it back to them to run the wizzard but instead of asking for the sign in details it was asking them for fixed IP address details ????
Can anyone who uses AOL post the settings they use, I'm assuming its
VC Mux
PPP/OA (ive heard either can be used)
0/38
this is stated on the kitz site
Connection Protocol: PPPoA (VCMUX or VCBASED)
[Update 2007:- AOL are now recommending PPPoE. But since the BTw backhaul uses PPPoA, unless you are on AOL LLU I'd still recommend PPPoA]
VPI: 0
VCI: 38
(VPI/VCI): 0,38
Authentication: CHAP
The Following settings are set to automatic or get automatically from ISP,
On some routers you may have to leave these fields blank:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Domain Name Server (DNS) Addresses
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): 1400
MRU (Maximum Receive Unit): 1400
Update July 2007: - AOL now recommend 1450
does the MTU need to be lowered to 1400 for optimum performace, I have tried support pages but I wanted a second opinion on here i may
