Posted October 17, 200915 yr Hi I haven't tried it for a while because it never worked. However - when I set up my system to request a password/user logon the broadband connection seems to always fail - is there an easy way to sort this out ? So - using p-w logon means the broadband connection always breaks... it never connects from the pc to the router etc. (on startup) I'd like to sort it so I can p-w protect my system. any help ?

October 17, 200915 yr Turn the modem on after you have booted into windows ? http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/645/rx2yg8.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmp http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/203.14.173.90:19577/b_350x20_C692108-381007-FFFFFF-000000.png
October 17, 200915 yr Author Hrm.... ok... but the modem is on permanently. Sure, I can do that. I am just wondering why it should be an issue at all. I thought maybe there was some elementary hardware /software linkup thing I wasn't aware of... (*argh*) thanks "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
October 17, 200915 yr Dunno, was just a suggestion. http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/645/rx2yg8.jpg http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/valorousunit.bmp http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/203.14.173.90:19577/b_350x20_C692108-381007-FFFFFF-000000.png
October 17, 200915 yr Author Yah, it's a real pain of a problem... "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
October 17, 200915 yr So, what you're saying is that everytime you startup, your modem has to re-connect? http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t136/varan92/sc_ii_2.png
October 17, 200915 yr So, what you're saying is that everytime you startup, your modem has to re-connect? Thats the conclusion i came to too. Is this correct Sandy? I know some Billion ADSL modem's with DHCP active would cause a "modem reboot" when an IP was requested by a XP SP3 machine. This has since been fixed via a firmware update, so if you indeed have this problem head over the to the Billion website and get the updated firmware for your model.
October 17, 200915 yr Disable startup/logon screen? to see if it has anything to do with the problem "Aerodynamics are for people who cannot build engines"...... Enzo Ferrari unicorns are awesome!
October 17, 200915 yr OK some more information - what is the brand and model of router? - when you have logon/password disabled are you using the autologon feature of winxp or another way to get into windows? - How do you get your ip address for the PC - through DHCP or is it set manually?
October 17, 200915 yr Disable startup/logon screen? to see if it has anything to do with the problem Going by Sandy's first post, that's what he has done. His problem is that he wants to be able to have a logon screen and password but also he doesn't want to have to turn his router on every time he logs on. http://i.imgur.com/DtNdckc.png [WC]Xavo|xXx:
October 17, 200915 yr Author DLink DSL-502T So, what you're saying is that everytime you startup, your modem has to re-connect? yes that's the problem Disable startup/logon screen? to see if it has anything to do with the problem it's disabled - it's not a problem when it is disabled Going by Sandy's first post, that's what he has done. His problem is that he wants to be able to have a logon screen and password but also he doesn't want to have to turn his router on every time he logs on. Bingo - exactly __ p.s. thanks to all for help Edited October 17, 200915 yr by mandatory05 "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill

How's the modem connected to your computer? USB, or Network cable?
October 17, 200915 yr Author Network/ethernet cable. "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
October 17, 200915 yr You using Dynamic(ie via DHCP) or a Static IP? If its Dynamic, try setting a Static IP
October 17, 200915 yr Author It's dynamic - as in it changes every time the modem is rebooted and so on... but this is the way it is set with the ISP, isn't it ? "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
October 17, 200915 yr It's dynamic - as in it changes every time the modem is rebooted and so on... but this is the way it is set with the ISP, isn't it ? open command prompt up and type in ipconfig /all and post that info here (or PM) Edited October 17, 200915 yr by Roy.Mustang
October 17, 200915 yr It's dynamic - as in it changes every time the modem is rebooted and so on... but this is the way it is set with the ISP, isn't it ? No sandy, he is talking about two different IP's. There is the IP your ISP issues you which is normally dynamic and you have no control over. There is also the IP address of your computer inside your network, if its dynamic the router will automatically give your PC an address, if its manual you set it up through windows (Sometimes through a router using IP address allocation, if it has this ability). Hope that helps. http://www.clan-tea.com/sigs/flames/Poncho-Temp.png Orders starting with SOMEBODY usually wind up being completed by NOBODY.
October 17, 200915 yr Author Thanks. PM'ed the details of my ipconfig. thanks to all "When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." - Winston Churchill
October 17, 200915 yr Replied. He is using DHCP to auto get an IP. So his D-Link might be experiencing the same issues some Billions had when XP SP3 came out. Gave him instructions on how to setup a Static IP on his LAN card, so maybe that will fix his problem
October 17, 200915 yr If we never see him again we know he didnt get it to work . :hi: That would be bad...
