Hacked 2b with O2

[IceK]

I have two hacked 2Bs running 4.7.5.1.83.3.18 firmware and updated the hidden setup pages with 0,101, LLC for O2 and still no connection. Anyone got the correct settings for using a 2B on O2 ?

Just wondering...have you got a static IP with O2...I know thier top package comes with a static IP. If you on the top package that might be the problem.

O2 also run 2 different services. Standard and home access which have different settings. See this link for the difference.

You have proberly checked this already but I'm putting the link in for future reference.

Yes I am on the top package with O2, with a static ip. The link above sends me to a "no resolution" page on O2s website.
Which changes are requried for a static ip setup, as the 2A works without any specific static ip setup !

I am atarting to think it is getting it to switch to ETHoA from pppoa but need to confirm that.

Here is the text from that link

If the you want to use O2 Home Broadband with your own router, you may need to enter some settings for it to work properly.

Some routers come set up correctly. Others will come with a set up CD or wizard to help you get connected. You'll need to refer to the manufacturer's instructions to find out exactly how to enter these details.

If your router has an ADSL2+ setting, make sure it's enabled. ADSL2+ is the technology we use to get a high-speed connection into your home.

There are different settings for our service depending on whether you are using our standard service or our Home Access service. Settings for both are provided below:


Standard settings (Standard, Premium, Pro, The Basics, The All Rounder, and The Works packages)

These are the other settings you'll need to enter into your router:

• ISP name: O2 Home Broadband
• Multiplexing method: LLC-Based
• VPI: 0
• VCI: 101
• Username: leave blank
• Password: leave blank
• Domain name: leave blank
• IP address type: this depends on whether you chose our static IP address option or not:
  • If you didn't choose our static IP address option, set this to dynamic IP
  • If you did choose our static IP address, enter the IP address printed in your welcome letter
• DNS servers: choose to get these dynamically from the Internet provider
• NAT: enable
• Primary DNS server: 87.194.255.154
• Secondary DNS server: Leave blank

Once you've entered these, you should be able to connect your router to your landline as described in the manufacturer's instructions, and get online.
Please note that if you have problems using your own router, we can't offer any help to fix it.

If you have a static IP address, you should enter the following DNS server address:


Primary DNS server: 87.194.255.155


Home Access settings


These are the IP Stream settings you will need to enter into the router:

Username: Radius Name
Password: Radius Password
Your radius username and password will have been sent to you when you joined. If you've lost them, click on the 'Email us' link below and ask us to re-send them to you.

• IP Address: Get automatically from ISP
• DNS (Domain Name Server): Get automatically from ISP
• NAT (Network Address Translation): On
• VPI: 0
• VCI: 38
• MTU Size: 1492
• Multiplexing Method: VC Based
• Encapsulation: PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
• DSL Modulation: G.DMT (Optional)
• Security Type: CHAPS
• Does Internet Connection Require Login: Yes
• QoS: UBR (Optional)
• Primary DNS Server: 87.194.255.154
• Secondary DNS Server: Leave blank

Please note: If there are complications or technical issues whilst using a third party router, we can't offer any further support. This is because there are so many makes and models of router it would be almost impossible to offer accurate and up to date support for them all.
