Anyone using Virgin ADSL on a BT Voyager 2000 Router?

Hi there

Trying to setup Virgin for a mate and not really sure about this adsl
stuff - use Blueyonder cable myself

He has got a s/h BT Voyager 2000 wireless modem/router, supposedly tested.

I can put settings into the router and they are accepted, but when I click
"connect" is appears to try and connect then goes back to the connect screen

Can some kind soul post the settings that are needed to connect to Virgin
home 500. I think it is PPPoA but not sure. What other settings are needed?

Cheers

TIA

OK here are my further thoughts, I would be eternally greatfull if somebody
could review them.....

Virgin wants...



User Name: (E-Mail Removed)

Password as supplied

PPPoA

Vpi: 0

VCI: 38

MTU: 1458

Encapsulation: VC-MUX

Authentication Method: CHAP

Service Name: home 500





I can set either.



Option 1...

User Name: (E-Mail Removed)

Password as supplied

PPPoA

Vpi: 0

VCI: 38

Encapsulation: VC-MUX

Authentication Method: auto or PAP

No box for service name (Virgin say user name must be specified)



Or..



Option 2..

User Name: (E-Mail Removed)

Password as supplied

PPPoE

Vpi: 0

VCI: 38

Encapsulation: LLC/SNAP

Authentication Method: auto or PAP

Service Name: home 500



So if I use Option 1, I cannot specify the Service Name, but if I use option
2 to specify the user name then I must use PPPoE





Also, is Authentication Method: auto supporting CHAP

Also is MTU the same as PCR (Peak Cell Rate) PCR (Peak Cell Rate)



I assume Session established by should be set to "always on"





Any other ideas....I just want to get this sorted, its taking up too much of
my time but it is for a good mate and he is trying to do this on the cheap ,
never a good idea I know..



Cheers

If you haven't already done so, try upgrading the firmware to the latest
version:
http://www.voyager.bt.com/2000/downloads.htm

I don't know if it will help with your problem, but it certainly helped
with a different problem I had with my Voyager 2000 bought on ebay.
