How to solve DSL setup problems in Windows Vista

Here's some help to get you connected even when you do not have a setup disc for Windows Vista for AT&T or Bellsouth Internet Service. This assumes you have all hardware and other software in place (such as filters) as directed.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer (PC)
• Microsoft Windows Vista (any edition)
• Internet Explorer or another Internet Browser
• Telephone line
• DSL hardware & modem, all connected properly

How to troubleshoot your AT&T DSL setup in Windows Vista

1. Open up your web browser (preferably Internet Explorer), then clear the address in the address bar and type in http://192.168.0.1 where the website is normally displayed.

2. It should find the website. If so, then proceed to type: [e-mail] where appropriate.
   
   type sbcyahooreg (in the password field).

3. Proceed with the DSL Internet download. You may need to use your old Internet connection to complete this download, but normally this is not necessary.
   
   If you had a dial up Internet service provider on your computer, this may take over 60 minutes. Please allow enough time for the download to complete.

4. Type in 204.60.203.227/register in the web address bar of Internet Explorer (or other browser) on the top of the web page.

5. Once you are registered, you will need to go back and log out of the "master" modem and log back into your own modem with the user ID and password that you created with your AT&T account.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not hesitate to call AT&T Yahoo DSL if you need help at any time with setup or any other Internet Connection problems. They can offer phone assistance.
• Ask a friend or family member for assistance if they are somewhat knowledgeable and can give you the support you need to set up your DSL connection.
• Perform this procedure only in the case where you either did not receive the installation CD or the installation CD does not work properly.
• This is only for Windows Vista software.
