Problems with 3Com Total Control 1000 HiPer DSP Card Modem

Hi

Instructions
telnet to the IP address of the Cisco switch
Enter the telnet access password for the Cisco swict when requested, and then the "Enter" key.
Type "enable" at the command prompt, and then the "Enter" key.
Enter the Privileged Exec password when requested at the command prompt, and then the "Enter" key. Then enter "configuration terminal" at the command prompt, and then the "Enter" key.
Type "interface fastethernet0/1," replacing the "fastethernet0/1" with the name of an interface in which you wish to enable PoE, and then the "Enter" key. Then, while in interface configuration mode, type "power inline auto" and then the "Enter" key. Repeat this step for each interface in which PoE is required.
Type "end" at the command prompt and then the "Enter" key, copy running-config
Below is some commands to run, I don't have any power on the interface but this will show you if this is working...
SW1#sh power inline fastEthernet 0/1
Available:360(w) Used:0(w) Remaining:360(w)
Interface Admin Oper Power Device Class Max
(Watts)
--------- ------ ---------- ------- ------------------- ----- ----
Fa0/1 auto off 0.0 n/a n/a 15.4
Run this command to see the interface is up.....
SW1# sh interface fastEthernet 0/1 ' in protocol
FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
SW1#sh cdp interface fastEthernet 0/1
FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up
Encapsulation ARPA
Sending CDP packets every 60 seconds
Holdtime is 180 seconds


Thanks

You would need to trunk the VLANS to the router and create sub
interfaces and then, create access lists applied to
the interfaces to control inter vlan communication. I hope this helps,

Router interfaces something like this, may not work on all versions of
IOS:

interface FastEthernet0/0
no ip address
speed 100
full-duplex
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.1
description VLAN1_Servers
encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.2
description VLAN2_QA
encapsulation dot1Q 2
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.3
description VLAN3_DEV
encapsulation dot1Q 3
ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
!
interface FastEthernet0/0.4
description VLAN4_FIN
encapsulation dot1Q 4
ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0

You need to configure the modem for it to allow game hosting. Enable NAT/GAMING setting of your modem. You can do so by pulling its interface and configure the settings from there. The interface of the modem can be pulled up by typing the default gateway of the modem in the address bar of a browser.

Hope that helps. Enjoy your game sessions!

update the drivers and run the wizard again to set up fresh settings
are you networking this unit or direct of the modem

I haven't worked with these switches but generally settings such as ip address and factory defaults can be set through the Console Interface (CLI). You will need a null-modem cable to access this and a terminal client (Windows Hyperterminal works).

Hope that helps

According to the specs at CNET
This laptop has built-in wireless, which should be under the bottom cover or keyboard.
The expansion slot on the side is for type I or II cards

Looks like your motherboard is a MSI KM4AM-L detailed here:

http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=572&maincat_no=1

If so, then it has an AGP slot which will run at 4x and 8x.

Remember to check the BIOS settings after you install it to make sure it is set to 8x, if that is what your card will take.

Download the appropriate driver from these links

You seem to have the last resort (o.o.o.o) set to VLAN1 which is set as an inside interface.
Is VLAN1 connected to the outside router or internet backbone?
If not, change the last resort to the outside Ethernet port.

In order to really test your modem you need to call more than just 1 (your ISP's) number. If you are not getting 56k connects, you should try your modem with other local/toll/toll-free numbers. This is a list of some toll-free numbers, the 3Com "Line Test" Number (a toll-call), and links to various ISP local access number listings Setting up an account with a Free ISP is another way you can test and isolate modem/ISP problems.
1-847-330-2780 - USR Linetest number - this is a toll call; if you log-in as "Line Test" with a v.34 modem, it will attempt to determine if your line will support 56k connections.
1-847-330-4569 - US Robotics' V.92 Test number - this is a toll call; the server is a 3Com Total Control HiPer ARC running V.92 server side code that supports PCM upstream.
The following numbers use toll circuits but are free to the caller (as long as you don't log in):
1-800-245-3828 - (Canadian weather BBS)
1-800-590-4857 - (IBM Global network access # x2 and V.90 3Com Server)
