Hi.
I didn't know where I should post this, mods please move as appropriate.
I recently changed ISP from Tiscali to Direct Save Telecom. I received a letter the other day saying that the switch had been made. However I still have the same issues as before and haven't done anything actively to 'connect' to their provider. The router is still configured to Tiscali. I'm a little confused as to how it all works.
Anyway I have been attempting to configure the router to DST, assuming this would complete the switch and halt the Tiscali usage.
So I entered 192.168.2.1 in my browser and entered the setup wizard. When asked for the ISP DST wasn't on the list and this means I have to manually enter some things. When I just tried going with the default, it wouldn't connect, only inputting the old Tiscali details reconnected me. I don't have a clue what they refer to and my DST literature doesn't suggest what I should input there:
Connection type: PPPoE, PPPoA, Dynamic/Fixed IP (1483 bridged), Static IP (IPOA), Modem Only (Disable Internet Sharing)
IP assigned by ISP: Yes/No (No opens up more fields)
VPI/VCI: Both require numerical entries
Encapsulation: VC MUX, LLC
MMU: Another numerical entry, default is 1454
Could anyone give me an idea what to enter in these fields?
I'm stumped. Thanks for your help.
