[QCLUG] Meeting

[Noah J Norris]

	yeah sbc err att has a crappy way to do registration (windows only ), they 
had a site that you could directly goto to registers before you got the 
service . the other part is to log into the modem  set it to log in and do 
the PPP so any computer connecting to it just does normal lan connection this 
saves some time when connecting multiple computers . ( note the setup most 
the time sets the modem to do the PPP but not always remember the settings 
and always stay connected you will want to adjust those settings to always 
remember your username and password and to always stay connected so if powers 
lost it works like above too ... second note your email address password 
controls the modem password when you change it you have to change the 
password for PPP to log into the internet this gets many people ) 

	so your email and password is the modems connection username and password . i 
had sbc service its not that bad you can hit up www.mail.yahoo.com and access 
your sbc/att email there just use username@sbcglobal.net  and your password 
to loginto your sbc email .
	
	also in order to talk to the yahoo dsl modem sometimes you have to setup a 
network thats the same network for its deafult registration it dont always 
send the right / correct information question do you have the 2wire modem or 
one of the cheap black brick ones ( put a fan on it or cook on it )  i still 
have a black brick one that supports manualy setting it up .
