English Belkin Modem working in France

[Paul]

Hi There

I have just been down to my local France Telecom and signed up for a ADSL line to recieve the internet. They tried to offer me a live box ( i belive a wanadoo) but opted not to take it. Is it possible to still use my Belkin Modem and wireless card . Is it just a case of changing my settings to the French ones.Will i also being able to use a Network key so no one else can tap in to my modem

Hope some one can help

Regards

I use a Belkin Modem / Router F5D7632 which I bought in th UK and it works fine. You set it as normal inserting the details of your french service provider when asked during the setup stage.

Will work fine, the only thing you might need to change are the VPI / VCI settings, which in France are [normally] 8 / 35 respectively - otherwise you won't be able to make a connection.

When I signed up to Tele2 they sent me a sheet with a full list of modem/router settings for their ADSL service (a lot more than BT did in the UK!) so I was quickly able to configure the modem to work.

I have a Netcom NB 1300 plus on my system here in Australia.I checked with Netcom to see if it would be ok to use when I moved to France and the said no as the FT sytem would no except it saying it was a different code system...
