Someone forgot to flip the switch to turn my DSL on. It was supposed to be setup on friday, but the modem wont sync up. Unless im missing something. Anybody have problems with DSL not syncronizing before?

Yes.


I have a bad socket connection (the thing in the wall where the plug goses in ;) ) and sometimes I have to jiggle it a little to get it right.

Its using the same phone jack that my dialup has been using, so that shouldnt be a problem. Unless its just really freaking picky;)

Hmm, speaking of dialup i cant connect at over 26.4 tonight, i usually get around 48.8. Could that be due to linenoise from the DSL, its on the same line and theres no filter on it. If so that would mean i SHOULD be able to get it synced up no?


EDIT: i did some checking, and i have determined that it IS hooked up. On the line the DSL is on my dialup is stuck at 26-28. On the other line it connects at 48 like it should. I think i just need to update the firmware on my modem and maybe change some of the settings on it.

yeah I had some connectivity problems when I setup my DSL. Turns out after placing relatively few phone calls(in relation to my cable modem problems) that they wired up the conection wrong and had rewire it. Ironically I was driving home one day and had to drive around some wrokers working on the telephone lines. I got home about 5 minutes later and my dsl had connectivity. As to you dialup you might want to attach a filter to that line and see if that helps any... other than that I dont know much about it other than it works.
