[Scottish] BT 5861 Router question

[Rod McCall]

Thanks to eeryone for their comments here is an answer to one...


>Do you know how, or have the instructions, for how to configure the router?

I downloaded a PDF from the manufacturer (Efficient Networks) which 
provided some information. However the BT firmware and hence the set up 
screens are different.   Also I don' t have the mac address for it.

As for Nat and non-Nat well I don't have ADSL yet, but tried wiring into 
the set up screen yesterday.  It would appear that the bog standard login 
does work - seems the previous owners weren't overly secure!

cheers,

rod
