Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me, I have been a virgin.net subscriber for a number of years and have used there "alcatel"" adsl modem I did have two computers connecting to the internet.
I now have a third computer and have installed straight through cables and have invested in a router, 4 port switched type.
My questions are,

1 In the set up the router is asking for the type of operating modes virgin.net supplies.examples include PPPoE+NAT PPPoA+nat....

2 has anyone connected to virgin using a router if so what values did "you " use

3 Included in the set up is a screen which asks for host and domain names, any ideas ifI should be completing these

4 then a screen for atm vc parameters

I know that this might be a bit "techie" but I'm an enthusiastic learner with only a basic knowledge, I have been searching the internet ad came across this site in the hope that I may find the answers, BTW I had contacted Virgin by email but the request seems to have fallen of deaf ears !!

its ok now found what i needed and have the network/router up and running

thanks for letting us know sorry we could not be much help on this occasion but it all depends on whose online at the time

it,s no problem, if anyone does need tp knowand I should have posted this earlier

the operating mode is pppoa+nat

my router also had the other preset values and I found a link on the virgin.net forum, a little program that alters your computers connection speed.

if anyone else finds themselves in the same position as me, this really works.

oh, and don't forget to power down your computer.
