CYTA DSL settings are different to most Internet providers. Without getting Technical, its hard. Does your modem have an auto detect line type setting?? Otherwise I can give you the settings.

Are you aware of the terms MVC, PVC channels??

connect your router to the ISP's router
it won't work otherwise

Rubbish!!!!!!!! So why do CYTA offer a 1.70 discount per month if you use your OWN router!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am using a UK router, NOT the CYTA Speedtouch. In fact a Draytek 2800VGi with built in Voice over IP.

Settings you need

You need a router than conform to RFC 1483 MPoA
MPoA Channel 1 (Internet Traffic)

VPI - 8
VCI - 35
Modulation G.DMT or ADSL2+ depending on your DSLAM Type. (Or leave on Auto)
Encapsulation 1483 Bridged IP LLC
Protocol MPoA

If you have Mi-Vision
MPoA Ch2 - VPI 8, VCI 36
MPoA Ch3 - VPI 8, VCI 37
MPoA CH4 - VPI 8, VCI 38

These extra channels isolate the TV data from internet, on the ADSL connection, on your Ethernet there all mixed together.

WHat you have just configured is Triple Play in CYTA terminology

So I am unable to connect to i-choice if I don't have MPoA protocol? I have only this on my router:

You just cant have Multi VCI's. You only need on efor the internet. 8,35

Unfortunately it doesn't work (PPP light is off). It's a router with access point and adsl modem. I have also Thomson TG585 v7 from Cyta and on PPPinternet properties is:

Seems to be some kind of PPPoE.

Interesting. Your VPI,VCI channels are slightly different to mine, when I use the original Speedtouch modem I get 8.35 8.36 8.37 8.38 as the channels

Yes, it's weird, but when i phoned to CYTA, nice woman tell me only VPI VCI (8/35), nothing else.

Looking closer, my settings are IPoA not PPPoE as yours are. there may be different types of DSLAM in use.

Interesting. I have noticed that new users in my area get the DSL light and Internet light on on their modems. I do not get the internet light.

On a speedtouch the PPP bit remains in the connecting....... state, while the one below IP internet connects. Shoing my IP address, gateway etc

So there looks like 2 sets of settings in use. PPPoE and IPoA

Requiring different ATM virtual channel numbers.
IPoA needs 8,35
PPPoE needs 8.36 8.37 8.38 8.42

On my Thomson it's like that:

So I will try with PPPoE and 8/36.

I will send also e-mail to ichoice@cyta.com.cy maybe they will give me some information.

You are using i-choice/Net runner on your own router/modem?

so what do i need to type in ?
