So what happens if you type

ping www.thaivisa.com

Bring up the Network Configuration window, select the network adapter your broadband modem is connected to and click Properties. In the Properties window, select the Advanced tab, look through the options and make sure that the correct Line Speed and duplex mode is selected (most DSL modems only support 10Mbps half duplex mode). If your network adapter has several connectors at the back, make sure the correct connector is selected, which is most likely Twisted Pair (TP).

You would see the Default Gateway under same properties page where you set your IP-address for your connection. Did you type in the correct subnetmask? Did they give you the ip-address for Default Gateway? You should have got a paper with all the info about your username, password, ip-address, subnet, gateway address, dns-address etc... Right?

Can you go to a commandprompt and type:

ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where xxx is your ip-address

Do you get any replies?

To be sure there are plenty of bad network marketing companies out there and I can tell you specifically what makes them bad. There are also a fair share of excellent opportunities and I can tell you what makes them so. But can you tell me why they are all pyramid games? I look forward to it.

Where in my sentence did you see me say ALL networking companies were pyramid games? I said they had good rates...

I've been part of many MLM companies, some good some bad, but in the end it's always the ones on the top that makes the money. Sure if you work really hard and make it your full time job you could make good money. But they all go out and say it's sooo easy and if you only give it 4 hours every week, you'll be able to retire and drink MaiTais all day long on the beach pretty soon

I used to defend all the MLM companies before but not anymore. Sure for some it's the ideal thing, but I got tired of all the nonsense.

I know you haven't replied to everything yet but here are som additional steps to check for the RASPPPOE application:

Click the Start button on the taskbar and select Run... to bring up the Run dialog box.

Type RASPPPOE in the edit field and click the OK button to run the Dial-up Connection Setup application.

If the application quits with an error message, follow the advice it gives.

A dialog box comes up with a combo box labeled Query available PPP over Ethernet Services through Adapter: at the top. Select the network adapter your broadband modem is connected to from the list. If the protocol is only operating on one network adapter, the box will be grayed out as there is no choice to make.

Click the Query Available Services button.

If the list view shows one or more offered services and you had tried to connect to a specific Service and/or Access Concentrator, make sure the one you had tried to connect to is listed. If you find your provider has changed the Service Name and/or the Access Concentrator name, simply create a new connection with the new name(s) or edit the Phone number field in your existing dial-up connection accordingly.

Click the Exit button to quit the application.

If you do not want to connect to a specific Service and/or Access Concentrator, make sure the Phone number field of your dial-up connection really only contains a single zero digit.

Good rates, but a pyramid game to make other people rich...

OK, so you confirmed that you get IP-address and DNS address from TOT, right?

You didn't type in the IP config from the webpage www.magix.com.sg? If so delete them, this should be obtained when you dial-up TOT.

PASPPPOE- No service offers recieved No PPP over Ethernet service offers were received. please do the followong:

1. check the configuration of you network adapter in the Device Manager.

2. Make sure the network adapter is properly connected to your broadband device

3. check with your services provider wheather they currently have an outage

1 and 2 im pretty sure is all good

1. After this are you still connected to TOT? Does you leds/lights in the taskbar flash? Can you ping your default gateway? Can you ping www.thaivisa.com?

2. Check the version of NDIS.VXD:

Under [Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Network Adapters], look for the device name "DSL700P ADSL Network Modem". Highlight this device and select [Properties > Driver > Driver File Details…] and you are able to find the driver version for Ndis.vxd

Should be 4.10.2224 if not update from Microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...&NoWebContent=1

3. Highlight the dial-up networking for ADSL service, right click on mouse and select [Properties > Server types], what do you see?

4. What version is the modem driver? There is one V. 2.3.4 on Aztech's webpage

5. Did you buy this modem in Thailand or somewhere else? Maybe doesn't meet the Thai standards...? Can you borrow someone's modem for testing if the above doesn't work?

Regarding PPPoE, this is how it works:

To establish a PPPoE connection, the Ethernet address of the remote PPPoE server must be obtained. Additionally, a unique session identifier must also be negotiated. The method to obtain this information is referred to as the PPPoE Discovery Stage.

The PPPoE Discovery Stage is made up of four steps: initiation, offer, request, and session confirmation:

1. The PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation (PADI) packet:

The PPPoE client sends out a PADI packet to the broadcast address. This packet can also populate the "service-name" field if a service name has been entered on the dial-up networking properties of the PPPoE broadband connectoid. If a service name has not been entered, this field cannot be populated.

2. The PPPoE Active Discovery Offer (PADO) packet:

The PPPoE server, or Access Concentrator, should respond to the PADI with a PADO if the Access Concentrator is able to service the "service-name" field that had been listed in the PADI packet. If no "service-name" field had been listed, the Access Concentrator should respond with a PADO packet that has the "service-name" field populated with the service names that the Access Concentrator can service. The PADO packet is sent to the unicast address of the PPPoE client.

3. The PPPoE Active Discovery Request (PADR) packet:

When a PADO packet is received, the PPPoE client responds with a PADR packet. This packet is sent to the unicast address of the Access Concentrator. The client may receive multiple PADO packets, but the client responds to the first valid PADO that the client received. If the initial PADI packet had a blank "service-name" field filed, the client populates the "service-name" field of the PADR packet with the first service name that had been returned in the PADO packet.

4. The PPPoE Active Discovery Session-confirmation (PADS) packet:

When the PADR is received, the Access Concentrator generates a unique session identification (ID) for the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) session and returns this ID to the PPPoE client in the PADS packet. This packet is sent to the unicast address of the client.

When this process has completed, the client is aware of the address of the Access Concentrator and a session ID has been established. At this point, a normal PPP session begins. This session can remain established until a PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate (PADT) packet is sent. The PADT may be sent by either the Access Concentrator or the PPPoE client.

Certain line? Not sure what you mean.. Normal ADSL you just plug it into the same outlet as the phone, should be connected to the first outlet in the house.

Did TOT give you an ip-address that you manually set in the network config or does it autoconfigure your ip-address when you try to call? If they gave you an IP-address have you tried using that one instead of the autoconfig one?

Can you confirm that you get DNS settings/ip-address for you ADSL adapter. Do you get IP-address for Default Gateway? That bunch of info can be quite vital... ;-)

As they tell you they can see you connect it sounds to me like a config problem. However can also be something with you old ADSL modem. Could be a problem with the PPPoE discovery stage. To be able to start PPPoE your computer needs to obtain the network address of the PPPoE server at TOT and after this they will negotioate a session ID and then you would be up and running normal PPP. Could be here the problem lies..

Check the manufacturer of the modem to see if they have any updated firmware for it. And sure, if you can borrow another one for testing it would be great...

Do you get an IP-address?

DNS-settings are they hardcoded and provided by TOT or you get them when you connect?

Win98..hm... think you write "winipcgf" at the command prompt or Start => Run => Winipcgf => Choose your adapter and look for the settings

In February last year I went to Tesco Koh Samui to buy TV, stereo and a DVD player and the sum was about 40.000 - 50.000Bt for an AIWA surround system and a JVC TV (plus a hot water heatner for the shower). When I get home the first thing that happens is that the receiver doesn’t work and I have to go back with it and there was no problem exchanging it for a new one, but it took me about 2-3 hours before everything was settled with the staff. After 2 months the hot water heatner I bought for the shower broke and I even had to return the hose to the service desk otherwise they could not repair it they said, even though it was no problem with the hose I did, and so I had to buy a new one to be able to shower. After 10 weeks I go to Tesco to check what happens as I haven’t heard anything, and it was still not repaired, but after additional 2 weeks it was finished…So a total of 12 weeks to get it repaired.

5½ months later when I have a problem with the receiver I bought in February I went to Tesco to get it exchanged or repaired (I don’t really know the guarantee rules in Tesco) and when I got there it takes about 1 hour and about 5-6 people before someone actually understand what to do and what the problem is even though I explained it many times. After 1 hour they asked me for the guarantee card for the receiver, however I told them I didn't think I had one but said I would go home and check. After checking all the manuals and bags for everything I bought at the same time, I realize I don’t have a guarantee card for the receiver and neither for the TV nor DVD. A couple of days later I return to Tesco and tell them I never got a guarantee card (I know because I still have all the other papers and manuals stored in one and same location) so they tell me they cannot do anything to help me. I got angry and left the receiver at the desk because if it doesn’t work I have no use for it. I wrote a note to the manager but he didn't even bother calling me...

So ok I can go there to buy food, but I would never ever buy any electrical hardware there... It's all bunch of cheap crap.

Yeah, sound like there's something wrong with the connection. You have any lights on the modem blinking? Normally there should be a couple.. One should be called link and one TX or something. If they're not lit you should contact the provider as huski also says, 678 is "NO ANSWER"

1 one year ago I opened an account with Siam Commercial without any problems.

1 week ago when I wanted to open another one they said the rules have been changed so you'll need a work permit to be able to open an account. But that's Siam Commercial, don't know about the other ones.

What version of Win98 do you have? What version of Dun?

What is the name of the PPPoE software? Version?
