Sky Broadband MAX Install

Are you really *really* sure that you are not connected to Sky. As the
tone of your replies, is very Sky like. The way you posting is
"patronising" to say the very least...

Mind you your posts would have read completely differently if only you
had used a smiley.

Still I would like to thank you for giving me another reason to *not*
use Sky Broadband (for the time being)....

The tone he used attacking our site, was more than I used, I am in no
way connected to Sky.

If he had used a smily, then I would have. Works both ways.

What I say has no nearing whether you sign up to Sky or not, if you
choose to not do so, your call. I don't get paid commission if you do
or don't.

Seriously though, it was his fault not ours, yet he posted it was.

I have since emailed him to help out.

Pity they don't appear to be able to get the login sorted out.

I gave up after 3 resets in 24 hours, mind you I have sent a post
to
the people who run the site, so we'll see what transpires...
Your username on here is kráftéé, there is a user on the memberlist
of
káftéé (ie without the r) is that you?

Well it wasn't when I posted, always gone by kraftee or kráftéé & I
have managed to login 3 times in 2 months so I don't know what gives.
Mind you after having to deal with my neighbours PC & router where
passwords appear to be changing randomly anything is possible (even
when to the trouble of tripple checking & they still got changed)...

Also the internet light on the router never comes on, no blinking amber
and
definitely no solid green light.

The Netgear will synchronise out of the box without any modifications
being made at all and without any PC being connected. So you clearly
have a synchro problem. The lack of a pulsing amber light indicates
that it can't see the DSL carrier at all.

The meaning of the lights is this:

No light : no DSL carrier found

Pulsing amber : DSL carrier found, synchro in progress

Fixed amber : synchronised with the exchange

Green : connected to the ISP (ie login and password accepted).

There could be several reasons why yours isn't working:

The router could be faulty. Try it in another house where ADSL works.
You do NOT need to configure it and you don't need a PC: just plug it
in and it will synchronise (or at least try to) all on its own. The
green light will NOT come on though; amber only.

The phone cable to the router could be faulty. This has happened to me
several times with Netgears and now I always carry spares. Try another
cable.

The filter(s) could be faulty. Try some others.

You should also try disconnecting ALL the phones, faxes, digiboxes,
video games, Tivos, alarms, etc that are in the house and connected to
the phone.

If the router works in another house and still doesn't in yours then
the odds are that the DSLAM in your exchange needs resetting or is
faulty.

was just a shot in dark as i dont use this router or this service
and was trying to be helpful

How the hell is mentioning ANYTHING about the PC helpful? IT HAS
NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE PC. Do you even have a remote grasp of
how a connection works when you use a Router instead of a modem
connected to the PC?

do you actually have a grasp of manners
mine works
i installed it and set it up
it has 4 pc's connected to it
you are a fool with a big mouth
hiding behind a keyboard and a smirk
obviously way past your bedtime little one
:-)

Nope it way past yours, or have you been on the 'sauce' again, don't let
your mother know that you're stealing her stash.

Question.... how on earth does a firewall installed on a PC (or MAC)
affect the ability of a router to synch up with the DSLAM at the
exchange(I'll give you a very big clue it doesn't). The OP was not talking
about getting on the internet they were talking about the very basic of
synch'ing up.

Now go to bed like the naughty boy that you are or santa will take all
your toys away, like he does with all simpletons trying to make out that
they know more than they do.

the reply was to conor
thicko!!
also if you live to my age
which with your attitude is doubtful then you can apply as my sarcasm as you
like
Boy!!

How many times have you spoke to people who do this job all day every day,
at the other end of the phone to AOL or BT? Who tell you to uninstall the
software, get you to clear your cache etc etc etc etc, reboot your computer
etc.

You explain to the drone, I am logged into the router, that means it aint
the computers fault....
