[HLUG] DrayTek adsl router

Sun Mar 19 17:53:02 GMT 2006

I have got DHCP as it's recommended in the router booklet. Yes this is
the one from BoX and I wonder whether there's a problem with using a
4-way cable between the router and my box. (I am putting the cable in
the P1 socket, not ISDN). BoX says it should be okay with only 4 wires
(though the socket has room for 8) but I realize this is a high spec
router and maybe needs a full 8 wires.
Adding to my troubles: my ISP was kaput for a long time this weekend!
Thanks for your help
Graham
