Hello,
I am trying to configure ADSL access with SMC barricade router and I
have problem establishing a connection with Xs4all. The ADSL line
itself is fine, but it might be that I have something to fix in the
WAN configuration.
Is there anyone willing to give me some hints ?

Thanks

Marco

This is how I got the smc running:

Click WAN-configuration, next select "Static IP-address" and enter these
values:

IP address assigned by your ISP 10.0.0.150 (this is the IP-adres of the smc
WAN port)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
ISP Gateway Address 10.0.0.138 (this is the IP-addres of the ethernet side
of your ADSL modem)

Thanks for the info,
the problem is that it does not work :-(
My web interface to configure the modem is slightly different from
your one, but this is what I did:

Wan configuration
System wide settings:
Default gateway:10.0.0.138

VC settings
Enabled:yes
VPI:8
VCI:48
Static IP address: 10.0.0.150
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0

When I run the diagnostic test it fails on the PPP layer, saying that
the IP number of the modem is wrong.
Any idea ?

P.S. In the letter by xs4all I have also received an IP adres
(starting with 80): what does it mean ?
Anyway, I've tried also this number but it does not work
Hoping that someone out there has some ideas.

Marco,

Are you able to connect to the Internet when you connect your pc to the
adsl-modem directly (without the SMC) ?
In the SMC I have also set the xs4all DNS server addresses.
The IP-address you got from xs4all (80.x.x.x) is the IP-address of your
modem on the ADSL-side (the "outside"). The 10.0.0.138 is the IP-address of
the modem on the "inside". Your internal IP-addresses may be different. It
should be the IP-address you use when configuring your ADSL modem.

Rene,
many thanks for the help you're giving me.
I appreciate it very much.

The SMC is a modem/router (the model is smc7401bra), so my modem is
the smc.

I did this as well (194.109.6.66, from Xs4all booklet).

This means the WAN settings, isn't it ?
I've tried it, but unsuccesfully.

Now I am missing something. When I connect to the modem to configure
it, the IP is 192.168.1.1
I think this number can not be changed (I thought this should somehow
hardcoded in the flash memory), so I wonder where I should enter this
10.0.0.138 and if I rellay need it.

I do not have XS4all or the smc, but look at the manual on page 3-7.
(http://www.smc-europe.com/english/support/driver_manual/broad/download/7401BRA/7401BRA_MN_European_E_vers1.pdf)

As far as I can see, forget the default gateway, leave it at 0.0.0.0,
the 10.0.0.138/150 are all alcatel modem settings and not applicable
here.

The static address, leave is at 0.0.0.0, it is not used.

set encapsulation to PPPoA.

on PPP field,
service name, don't now, possible leave blank or anter a dummy name
like XS4ALL o.i.d
User, your user@xs4allbasic etc
PW your PW,
authentication, set to auto (safest option).

on DHCP field,

enable DHCP. your IUSP will assign your addres en DNS info
automatically.

Save it , test it, hope it works.


Gr. T.

Marco,

Oops, sorry for confusing you. I have a modem and a separate smc-router.
Just forget everything I told you about the 10.0.0.x addresses. The ISP
provided address should definitely be the 80.x.x.x you got from xs4all in
your case.

Thanks again for you help.
This is indeed what I thought and what I tried, even before your message.
Unfortunately it does not work.
Now I really don't know what should I do.
