When I recently moved from Canada to Barahona, I had a lot of problems
getting my high-speed DSL working from Codetel, web pages were very slow coming up, and even tho I am paying for 1.5mbps ($2,850pesos) package, it was bad bad, and at first it worked only for 1 day, and then it took a week of high-tech techies to get it working again.
Afterwards, I changed some of my settings to make things better.
First I configured Windows to use DNS of 4.2.2.2 and Sec. DNS of 4.2.2.3
And then I went into the Speedtouch pages and changed the following:
First goto
http://10.0.0.1
Type the username in: admin
And then the password of: 1234
And if you like me and your spanish is a little rough (only been here 2 months), click on the small EN at the top of the page to switch your
modem settings into ENGLISH.
On the left-hand menu click on "Configuration" under the *SPEEDTOUCH" heading.
And then along the top-bar menu click on "Configure" and then make sure
near the bottom of the settings, that "WEB BROWSING INTERCEPTION" is
set to "Disabled" and then click on APPLY.
Don't run the SETUP or change the "PPPOA" settings, unless Codetel was
nice enough of them to give your PPP password, you can see your PPP
username, but the password is "********" on the screen. Which is SAD,
in Canada Ma BELL is nice enough to give you all the information plus speeds
in the 18meg range now with ADSL2.
Next if you are like me and do alot on your computer network, and need
better direct internet access, click on "HOME NETWORK" and then click
on your Ethernet port which they seem to always name "BELLA" and
select the "Assign Public IP" to your device, which will make your Windows
next time it grabs the Dynamic IP to switch from the default 10.0.0.1 to
your REAL IP which are see by on the outside world, but you should be
running a good "firewall" program on your Windows side if you do so.
If anyone else needs help, I will see what I can do for you, I been using
the Internet for 20 years now, and being here now in DR instead of Canada
it is like stepping back 10 years in the past.
