how to install and use my dsl at a remote location?

Question

I want to be able to use my sbc yahoo dsl atmy summer condo.
I know that I can use Dial Up, but can I install and use dsl at both locations?

Answer 1

Your account (i.e., your emails, sbcy home page, etc.) is "alive" independently of how you choose to access it, but your dsl is a physical service that is limited to one location at a time. You can access your account from virtually any internet connection anywhere.

To keep the dsl, obviously both locations have to be in an AT&T service area. Your condo has to be within the dsl service area, and that is limited by distance. SBC won't sell me DSL because I live 700 feet outside their most recent limit of 15,000 feet from their office. You use the word "remote": if you are speaking of a location in the middle of nowhere, you probably can't get dsl there; call and find out.

If you can get dsl there, put in a move order for when you go to the summer condo, then put in another move order for when you come back home. This is not complicated if both locations are in the same sbc region (Ameritech, SWBell, PacBell or SNET). If your home and your condo are in different regions, it depends on which regions whether you can keep the same user id when moving. If you can't keep the same uid, you certainly wouldn't want to move the dsl; just content yourself with a month or two of dial-up. If the move orders are put in properly, you will not have to reregister the account these days, unlike in the not-so-remote past.

My experience is that there is a greater likelihood of a foul-up on a move order than on any other type of dsl service order, so keep that in the back of your mind.

If you do move, and are keeping the same user id, there will be no "installing" of anything to do, just move the computer and modem (remember the filters!) and plug everything in. Even if you are using a different computer at the condo, it doesn't matter as long as you have a pppoe modem (speedstream 5100b or 4100 or any 2wire modem/router); they will automatically connect regardless of what computer is plugged into them. The only time you would have to install anything would be if your (different) condo computer is a pre-XP windows PC and your modem is non-pppoe; then you would have to install a special program, enternet 300.

Answer 2

I dont imagine the project is your router. those linksys routers dont truly do any packet filtering. My wager is the project lies in the get admission to regulations on the Cisco VPN. i'm no longer precisely constructive of your connection type, inspite of the undeniable fact that the 4 pcs on your router might want to be broadcasting the same IP, possibly the VPN cant distinguish between the pcs on the community.

Answer 3

Sure, but you would have to have SBC move your service to your condo.

Answer 4

you would have to change your home number with sbc Yahoo
