I can't tell you what settings to use, but they will be in the configuration

friend has.
There are two ways ADSL can work to try and keep it simple!
One is that the customer sends a user name and password from the
modem/router when it is plugged in. The ISP sees it and allows the
connection. The second way is by using a MAC address which can
look like this - 0E:FFF:AF:EE. The ISP sees that and allows the
connection.
With Be I think it is the MAC code. Go in to the configuration page
for the BeBox by using whatever is written underneath. It will have a
web address like 192.168.1.1 and a user name and password. Your
friend should have changed that password from default.


Thanks for that. I know how to go into the router configuration pages
but we can't access the bebox, it rejects his username and password.

I think I'll set up the modem / router he has acquired and then give Be
a call to get the settings, they said we could do that. Hopefully it
will prove his Bebox is faulty.
