[Solved] Can't connect Vigor 120 to Be Unlimited was created by bram2000
Hi all,
I've been trying to connect my new DrayTek Vigor 120 to Be Unlimited for a couple of days now with little success. I have it plugged directly into my laptop, I've followed the directions about using the Vigor 120 with BE* here:http://www.draytek.co.uk/support/kb_vigor100_setup.html , and I have a solid 'DSL' light. I have telnet'd onto the modem and used 'adsl status', it all looks pretty good:
Trouble comes when I try to create a new PPPoE connection in Leopard. I leave the three fields (Service Name, Account Name, Password) blank as I understand I have to for BE*, hit connect and it just spins. Eventually it times out with the message "Failed to locate PPPoE host".
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or steps I can take to further troubleshoot?
Thanks,
Jon

Problem solved. I kept setting the IP address of my laptop manually, to the same subnet as the DrayTek, in order to access it's web interface. If I simply leave the ethernet connection on DHCP, it aquires an external IP address and works perfectly!

This is because BE (and O2) don't use any PPP authentication, unlike every other UK ISP !
