Hi Folks
Did someone get Thomson ADSL Modem SpeedTouch 536i v6 working ?
I use a 546i (4 ethernet ports, no USB). Worked out of the box, including ipv6 prot 41 tunnel. Theo -- Theo v.

Hello, Theo - thank you, that IS interesting. My SuSE vers is: 10.1 - am trying to use USB to connect modem to mah Puter - maybe, I should get an ethernet card - perhaps ADSL Modem SpeedTouch 536i v6 works with ethernet but NOT usb ?? cheers + thanks have a Good Day :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Theo
- thank you, that IS interesting.
My SuSE vers is: 10.1 - am trying to use USB to connect modem to mah Puter
As Peter said: forget USB.

Dunno, perhaps USB works with the setup program on CD for windows, but still (especially in Linux) ethernet is much, much easier to use and 1000% more versatile. So get yourself a $5 100Mb card, set its address to e.g. 192.168.1.10, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.254 (the default address of the ST536i, see your manual). Point a browser to that address and change what you want, like "Always On" and login-name and password for your provider. Theo -- Theo v.

You would be far better off dumping the USB side of things and get yourself one that uses an ethernet port and an ethernet card much easier in fact almost instant no faffing around with half cooked drivers on something that IMHO should be no where near networks at all (USB) fine for printing ect but there it ends ..

I totally agree. The 536i also has an ethernet port, so OP would be wise to use that. OP: The default IP address on the LAN side is 192.168.1.1 IIRC, once you've connected to the embedded webserver you can change the LAN address and other settings to your liking. Theo -- Theo v.

I found that the default address (for the 536i) is not 192.168.1.1, but 192.168.1.254 instead. Theo -- Theo v.

Anywhere from free to $30. Considering its going to be connected to an ADSL, you don't need anything but a dirt cheap 10megabit card. I know places that have piles of them in their scrap bin. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sheesh! Where are you, 6 feet from the telco exchange? Given that nothing is working for the OP yet, even 10 meg would probably be welcome, but 10/100 cards are also pretty cheap. About $16 from my sources. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

16 Mbps is quite common here in Europe. Back in Sweden, I've seen them offer 24Mbit ADSL (but I didn't take it, because I already had a 100Mbps connection from home :)

Sure, a 100Mbps card today costs next to nothing -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

you miss the scope...

Yeah, who lives that far away from a relay station? And a mile away from the station, you should still be getting over 20Mbps. If you don't, I suggest you report it as a bug My 100Mbps, incidentally, wasn't DSL, it was ethernet all the way to the backbone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

All this "speed" is great, but................................................. The vast majority of the servers on the web can't get close to those speeds. About the average for the majority I have used seems to be around 70>90Kbps. I have found a few that could hit close to 130Kbps. The only limiter I have is the 100Mbps network card in my computer. It still took me about twenty-four hours to download the DVD for 10.2. Best speed I saw from the server was 70Kbps and for most of the download it was more like 50>60Kbps. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
