Well , some updates on this journey !

Got everything running with either my LL laptop & my mother s tower , iphones & ipad also work today . Thomson Modem s ok . DLink Router got configured , now the VOiP needs to be configured .

D-Link wasn t helpful at all , called carrier ( Acanac ) which helped in a way & Wirezfree also .

Now Cisco VOiP needs to work .

My brother which is an IT guy , don t know what it is exactly what he s doing , will come for Christmas & nfix this . Luckily I have my cell & my mother laso while waiting for the VOiP to work properly .

Hi gold_finger,

The article is so true here, just replace Corporate America with Corporate UK.
Some times you call a provider and it's like...
"why are you bothering me" or "You want want service, that's not part of my remit"

It's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy, we all want cheap goods and services,
we are now unfortunately experiencing the after sale "fallout" "there are no free lunches"

Well , got in touch with Acanac which not surprisingly told me to get in touch with DLink , which don t have Phone Support & resend you on their Web Support that I can t either have it to work on either LL or my mother s Win 8.1 ! What kind of business is that ! Getting pissed off right now after 3rd day attempt .

I know the feeling....
Typical in the consumer world passing the buck.

Funny, just read an article this morning along similar lines to above situation:  http://www.oftwominds.com/blogdec14/Corporate-America12-14.html.  (Your situation isn't funny Altman -- just funny that I happened to read that article, then later on see your frustration with corporate customer service passing the buck on down the line.)

Hi altman,

I know the feeling....
Typical in the consumer world passing the buck.
O.K... Lets see if I can help.

1. per my previous instruction can you confirm the IP Addresses of the DCM475 & DIR682 ..?
Then
2. With your PC/Laptop connected to the DCM475, open: ftp://ftp.dlink.ca/PRODUCTS/DIR-862L/DIR-862L_QIG_1.00_ENFR.PDF and save instructions locally
Then
3. Then follow the instructions, If you encounter problems tell me in which section and at what point you get stuck.

Lets get to this point.

Sorry about that  folks , but it s getting ridicule right now . NO support from DLink , I wont buy this if I ever need one later on .

The real thing is I don t know how to configure that thing , never had to beforehand . Might be easy for some , but I don t get this thing at all .
