ATT blocking issue....
by Matt Kelly 28 May '10

Can someone at ATT contact me off list to help with a problem? It appears you're blocking a /19 of ours from all mail delivery. Emails to postmaster and the normal web forms have gone unanswered. Thanks. -- Matt

FIOS Router
by Chris Burwell 28 May '10

28 May '10

I'm doing some research for a group that has a 100Mb FIOS Internet connection at their site. I was surprised to learn that Verizon supplied them with the same Actiontec router that they provided me with on my 10Mb connection at home. Needless to say the Actiontec router is not up to the task of moving all of that traffic (they are using about 80Mb now and sometimes max out their connection). Verizon has been good about replacing the router multiple time when they finally fail, however having to power-cycle the router multiple times per day is not acceptable. What I would like to do is set them up with a router/firewall that is capable of handling their current bandwidth needs as well as their anticipated future growth. My concern is terminating the FIOS connection from the ONT directly to something like a Cisco 3900 (Output from the ONT is CAT5 terminating to RJ-45). I have been searching around the Internet and found one discussion where someone claims to have been able to accomplish just this using a Cisco 871 router. Based on the loose discussions that I have read it seems that the FIOS connection configuration can vary from area to area. I am also aware that we can configure the Actiontec router as a bridge, but I would much rather remove it altogether particularly with the amount of traffic this group is moving. Has anyone been able to accomplish this or something similar with any hardware other then the router Verizon provides? Any insight on Verizon's official stance on this would be helpful. If there is someone from Verizon out there that can contact me about the technical aspects of doing this, that would be much appreciated as well. - Chris

Guam

I am trying to gain some knowledge about setting up a T1 network in Guam. I am in Washington State so I am not sure who to contact over there. We normally deal with QWest but they do not provide service there. I see a GTA Teleguam but I am not sure the wisest place to start. If anyone has any experience, POCs, or knowledge to pass along to this Guam noob I would really appreciate it. -- Thanks, Joe

AT&T U-verse
by Tim Sanderson 27 May '10

27 May '10

What are people doing for business U-verse connections? AT&T installs a gateway device that doesn't necessarily allow the business to use their own router/firewall. The AT&T gateway is not just a VDSL modem. At least I have not been able to get it to work. The web interface seems to suggest that a pass-through situation can be configured and I have following al the directions but it doesn't appear to work. Has anyone worked with business U-verse and been able to park a cisco router between the private LAN and AT&T gateway? Tim

Thanks for the information everyone! Most I will spec out several solutions for them, but the preferred solution will probably be a firewall just because most appliances will do more routing then they would need. I was looking at the Sonicwall NS series because it looks like they provide good throughput for the price. Brielle: Thank you for the info about the Ethernet port on the ONT. I will make sure to relay that information. At this point I believe they would want to make their service stable and worry about maximum bandwidth once that is done. The router they have is the MI424WR, which is what I have for my home service. I don't have many complaints about it at home, however it's clear that it's not up to the task in the case of my client. They have had the router replaced by Verizon 4 times in about as many months. - Chris
