DSL Connection Issue?


Recommended Posts

question, i just formatted and updated a friends pc from vista to windows 7. after the upgrade i updated windows via a cable modem with no issues. i then moved the pc to a friends house where he has a DSL connection. he wanted it setup wireless, so i bought this Cisco - Linksys Wireless-N300 Router - Black (E900-4A) and set it up with his DSL modem. after configuring the router i was not able to get online with the pc. i was able to ping the router with no issues but that's it. in the bottom corner by the clock it said unidentified network. i tried resetting both the router and the DSL modem and no luck. next i tried connecting the pc up straight to the DSL modem. after configuring windows 7 to connect this way i would get an error 651 when the internet would dial in for the DSL connection. please help can't figure out why i can't connect. i never had a issue before with setting up any router config before. i have setup about 50-100 if not more of these and never saw this before. please assist, not sure what to do next. i read one post someone said try replacing the "raspppoe.sys" file located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\ saying this could of gotten corrupted? how could it connect fine via the cable connection but then won't connect via DSL?

thanks

I think you need to check the DSL modem configuration setting its its built-in firewall !

You need to go to the site of the DSL provider and see what you need to do set up the modem. Some use an IP and some just use a script to access the modem.
