Leopard, Tiscali, Sagem F@ST 800 - How to
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hay all, i'm a UK Tiscali internet user. Doing some searching found that ALOT of people are having problems connecting to tiscali with the given USB modem. I have finally fixed it. Here's my how to:
First up you need either Tiger or leopard. This guide is for leopard, but tiger users will find it helpful.
If you have tiger you already have this applciation called "Internet Connect.app". Leopard removed this app and bundled it with the network preference plane.
you can get this from
http://lgsagem.free.fr/Telechargemen...onnect.app.zip
Next up is the actual drivers for the f@st 800 modem. These are found at
http://lgsagem.free.fr/Telechargemen...tel_v4.0.5.dmg
If you use leopard you NEED to drag the internet connect.app application to the application folder as the driver installation program needs this.
Run the application inside the fast800_MacIntel_v4.0.5.dmg image. Choose the default settings.
You should have a new application on your desktop called "Eagle Monitor". This is used to monitor the DSL line. So plug in your f@st modem and wait until it sync's with your phone line. (I had to change the configuration, this is what i used)
ATM Channel VPI: 0
ATM Channel VCI: 38
Encapsulation type: PPPoA LLC
I had to restart my mac to save these changes.
Head over to the network pref plane. You should see a new Ethernel en2 device.
Set this to "using DHCP".
Now then, on the left is a list of devices. Click the little + at the bottom and use these settings
Interface: PPPoE
Ethernet: Ethernet Adaptor (en2)
Service Name: Tiscali
With this new conenction set the Account name to your username and password to your password.
All should work now.
