Yeah, before you start flaming me, it was my mate that bought it and i had nothing to do with the purchase of it. (tardme had to get its name from somewhere)

Yes, well my mate bought a ni500 last week of tardme.

Today jetstream gets connected and so i try to connect to it via telnet. I cant, cause it says that there is a password required. The manual says to type in Ni500. Tried it heaps of times.

So we ring up the guy he bought it of, he says that he never changed the password.

So does anyone know of a way that we can reset it to its defaults??? There are no jumpers on the back to change etc and we have searched the manual for quite a while.

I am pretty sure it is setup correctly as the led is on that indicates the adsl connection and i can ping it aswell.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Yeah thanks hans, that worked.

Now im trying to get the f**king thing working!!

Does anyone here have any experience at setting it up??

Like which of the following protocols should i be using?

RFC 1483 Bridged Ethernet over ATM
RFC 1483 Routed IP over ATM
RFC 1577 Classical IP over ATM
RFC 2364 PPP over ATM, PPP over AAL5
RFC 2516 PPP over Ethernet PPPoE

I have tried setting up 2364 (the guy we bought it off said to use that) but i cant seem to get it working.

It is just connected straight to the back of the computer via lan cable.

Ive set the IP address of the computer to one higher than the router e.g. the routers ip addy is 192.168.7.1 the computer ip addy is 192.168.7.2

I have set the default gateway to the routers ip and have configured the dns servers to be the paradise ones.

I use the installation software and set it up, then go into telnet and follow the manuals instructions but none of that seems to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

it should be all setup by default.. then all you have to do is put in your authentication information...

I'll dig up my ni500 admin pdf and write you out a list of the commands you gotta do

telnet 192.168.7.1
password: i500

ppp 1 info (this should let you know if you've got the right encapsulation)

---This bit is only if 2364 is not enabled---

ip device add ethernet ether
//edd 192.168.7.1

ip device add ppp_device ether
//ppp/DEVICE=1

config save

restart

---If 2364 is enabled, then start from here---

ppp 1 pvc 0 100

ppp 1 welogin whatever@jetstart.isp.co.nz thisismypassword

ppp 1 enable
ip relay all
ip nat add ppp_device

config save

restart


Thats all you should ever have to do (actually more)

Cheers, thanks man. Works now.

Do you think that it will be alright to use the no-ip duc to get into active mode on dc++? Or will i have to pinhole some ports?

Cheers

you cannot pinhole on an ni500.

that is all.

27-05-2003, 04:30 PM
So does that mean that i cant use dc++ in active mode?

Or is there a port that is already open that will work for me??

Jetstream.co.nz or telecom.co.nz have a trouble shooting page for nokia Ni500 modems, i have the page bookmarked at home, ill post the link when i get home if u want.

Yeah, that would be really good dumass.

I did have a google for help guides on setting it up but had no luck.

Cheers

The Ni500 is a very "secure" modem. There is no way, that I know of, to added a pin hole.

Unless you have a hacked firmware which I have not yet seen.

easiest way to install it is to install the dslon software that came with it.......... simple as that.

Yeah, it wouldnt work at first, untill i did a reinstall of XP.

Paradise also hadnt enabled the account untill we rang them up.

So is it possible to make DC++ work in active mode with the no-ip client?

Im having some troubles with my modem at the moment. I tried both the DSL on software (had to change the compatability mode to NT4.0 to get it to work under windows XP) and i have tried it with whetu's commands.

When its turned on i get the following:

i500> ppp 1 info
PPP 1: Channel 1 : enabled, up, phase=Establish
PPP 1: PVC setting : port 0 vpi 0 vci 100
PPP 1: Our login name : dumass@paradise.net.nz
i500> ppp 1 info
PPP 1: Channel 1 : enabled, up, phase=Establish
PPP 1: Recent failure : LCP resend limit reached
PPP 1: PVC setting : port 0 vpi 0 vci 100
PPP 1: Our login name : dumass@paradise.net.nz
i500> ppp 1 info
PPP 1: Channel 1 : enabled, down
PPP 1: Recent failure : LCP resend limit reached
PPP 1: PVC setting : port 0 vpi 0 vci 100
PPP 1: Our login name : dumass@paradise.net.nz

And it just keeps flashing, no connect. the password and username are right, i have another router which connects fine on same network cable, phone cable etc..

Any idea why it wont connect?

I'd say "PPP 1: Recent failure : LCP resend limit reached" is a pretty blatant indicator of whats wrong :rolleyes:

your friend Google says this:
The first phase of PPP, Link Control Protocol (LCP), is responsible for establishing, configuring, testing, maintaining, and terminating the PPP data-link connection

remove the encapsulation and start from scratch, see if that helps

do away with the dslon software.. its stupid, you want the ni500 to be set and forget..

Download that and then RTFM

ok, i have the manual infront of me. i have tried disabiling all modes, and then enableing 2364, but it still happens.

I have found (rather disturbing) that this comes up when i type 'ip config' in the router:

i500> ip config
device add ethernet ether //end mtu 1500 192.168.7.1
device add ppp_device ether //ppp/DEVICE=1 mtu 1500
nat add ppp_device

subnet add ethernet.home . 192.168.7.0 ff:ff:ff:00

rip send ethernet 2
rip send ppp_device 2
rip accept ethernet 1 2
rip accept ppp_device 1 2

relay ethernet ethernet
relay ethernet ppp_device
relay ppp_device ppp_device

# IP host table:

# Port table:
l2tp 1701/UDP
router 520/UDP
snmp 161/UDP
tftp 69/UDP
telnet 23/TCP

---

I dont know why it has a 0 ip in it though, but those ip's should be the ones given by the ISP.

I get this when i type ip device: any ideas? cheers for the help guys:

i500> ip device
# type dev file IP address
device ethernet ether //end mtu 1500 192.168.7.1 # FAILED
device ppp_device ether //ppp/DEVICE=1 mtu 1500 <unknown> # DISABLED

it is set and forget......... run it once and you are done....... easier than screwing around setting it up via telnet in my opinion...

the 0 bit dont worry about, thats ok (thats the routers start # anyway...)

its the DISABLED part that worries me, i have that too, and i dont know how to fix it.

i tried removing the encapsulating and went to readd it, and it wont let me telnet or now even ping the damn thing...

****E

i am stuck :/
