Port Forwarding/Public IP Info by benlye
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Currently maxis only provide private ip for all subscriber by default hence making portforwarding not possible or accessing ur CCTV system from outside not possible.
To obtain a public ip access do the following:-
1) have your account no ready.
2) contacts the service center
3) tell them you need public ip.
4) the Service assistant will submit your request for approval this may take 2 to 5 days
5) once approved their internal team will need to make some modification to ur account.
6) they will contact you when approved & modification is done.
7) they will talk you thru the steps on how to make changes to the router.
8) reboot the device.
Once done you have a Public IP but in order to keep track of it. You need to subscribe to DDNS services like no-ip.org etc as ur ip changes once a while.

5. ftp transfer
6. Test the dect phone + voice call to mobile and fixed line.

Information for existing Streamyx Users living in Highrise by DrPitchard and polarzbearz
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
[quote=DrPitchard]Well, depends on your setup actually. For those living in high rise buildings, there is no chance at all to use dual phone lines. Once Maxis Fibre Home is installed, the TM line will be pulled out at the exchange point, thus, users will NOT BE ABLE to use that phone number line anymore, and together with that, no more streamyx. For landed, still possible, since it is a seperate new fibre optic line. But do take note that it will take 3-4 weeks for TM to process your cancellation request, thus, almost 1 month of wastage, especially those staying in high rise.[/quote]
[quote=polarzbearz,Jul 3 2012, 10:58 PM]High rise installation here. I can confirm that you can go ahead with whatever you prefer (either terminate first or later).
The moment TM + Maxis guy come and set-up, TM will just go to the connection centre (or whatever it's called) in your building / block, switch your port settings to their unifi / home fiber (HSBA) port.
I realised the TM guy had arrived (Maxis' guy already beside me, I was doing my web development, online) the moment my internet went off with no ADSL signal. (The TM guy just reconfigure/remove/unplug/change setting/
i don't really know what he do behind), moments later he came up to configure TM's modem configuration and viola! I'm activated with high speed fiber.
The only problem is, I think, TM / Maxis did not activate my account and they couldn't get my connection to online, although the DSL signal is there. They just called back to centre to check and few minutes later, everything's done
![smile.gif]()
Sorry for my long post tho, TL;DR version:
Doesn't matter if you terminate now or later, they're gonna replace your existing port with new installation anyway.[/quote]

Public IP vs Private IP by mikeeeee
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
[quote=mikeeeee,Jul 5 2012, 11:46 AM]read more , while its true that any internet connection to internet must have a Public IP BUT
the main difference is where is the Public IP located in the network hierarchy.
For normal maxis ftth setup
users are given private IP at their home and kept the public IP at their own server/equipment. In this scenario, for you to reach the Internet, you must pass through their server/equipment. Mind you, this particular public IP could be shared with other maxis ftth to reach the internet. Typically, this type of setup is
1 public IP(maxis data center) -- > many, maxis private IPs (users home router) --> many, your home private IPs(users ipad,phone, notebook, pc)
so, for data communication in the internet others will only be able to see your public IP, once data routed to the public IP, maxis equipment will then have to route it to the appropriate users (private IPs)
For maxis ftth setup with public IP
users are given a public IP (dynamic one of course) at their home directly. So in this case, between you and the internet is just the home router and this public IP is not shared by others at any point in time. Typically, this tpe of setup is
1 public IP(users home router) --> many, your home private IPs (users ipad, phone etc etc)
by using this setup, you have direct control over the the traffic if your router is capable of doing it and of course if you have admin access to it.
Note: In most cases, normal internet activities doesn't really which setup you have, what important is you have a connection and those routers will manage the route appropriately. However for example a cctv setup, you will require certain ports to be forwarded to the local private IP of the cctv equipments, therefor people suggest to get the public IP setup so that you have control over the router. In fact, cctv setups will even work using the normal setup IF Maxis helps you to port forward the necessary ports from the internet to your private IP (However, that might create management mess and most likely there are strict protocols to follow to allow the changes which means they will most likely wont do it for you)
BTW, public IP or private IP have no relation to your LINK speed. Download speed MIGHT be affected though depending the software you use. LINK speed and Download speed is not the same ya.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2384890Guide for Auto Reconnection Script with Thomson TG784n by
polarzbearz» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
This is for those who are using
THOMSON TG784n router and
JDownloader for its auto reconnection for new IP's. Not sure if this happens to everyone, but I found out after testing and some googling in which this router will not work properly with Jdownloader's LiveHeader reconnection script (including Raw Mode). Initially I tried to use batch file to run telnet command, and realized that the batch will not work once you get into telnet mode (as it requires keyboard input) and thus; I've resorted to another method.
You'll need several tools / applications for this to work, be noted that it is best to be used only when you are idle from the computer, since this is just a very basic script.
GUIDE FOR AUTO RECONNECTION SCRIPT WITH ThomsonTG784NSTEP 1a: Prepare the script below and save it as
reconnection.ahk[quote]Run, cmd
Sleep, 3000
WinWait, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,
IfWinNotActive, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, , WinActivate, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,
WinWaitActive, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,
Send, cd /d{SPACE}

IfWinNotActive, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe, , WinActivate, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,
WinWaitActive, Administrator: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe,
Send, exit{ENTER}
[/quote]
STEP 1b: Modify the script if necessary
You will only have to modify the green highlighted parts. If the location of telnet.exe is same as I posted above, you need not to make any modifications to it. By default, the script connects to the default router IP (192.168.1.254) with the ID of 'Administrator' and PW of 'yourpasswordhere'. Modify accordingly.
If you need to make modifications but unsure of how, you can either use
AutoScriptWriter (recorder) that came with AutoHotkey or PM/reply here.
STEP 2: Attach the script to JDownloader Reconnection Script.
- Go to 'Settings'
- Click 'Reconnections' and select 'External' tab
- Select the saved .ahk file. Alternatively, you can compile the .ahk file (right click --> Compile Script) and use the compiled .exe file instead
- Check 'Use special executer for Windows'
- Under 'Showcase' below, click 'Change IP' to test if the script works or not.
- If it doesn't; first try to run the script OUTSIDE of the Jdownloader and ensure that the script works, if it does not, somewhere is wrong with the script.
- If it works outside of Jdownloader but not when attached to Jdownloader, ensure that the script runs exactly as it is when it is executed outside of JDownloader; if not, check everything again.
SUMMARY: Basically, you can create the script in any other preferred language of yours. The main concept behind this is to:
- Launch Command Prompt (Telnet must be enabled as a Windows Feature) and type the following
- telnet 192.168.1.254
- enter your Username (e.g. Administrator)
- enter your Password (e.g. 12345)
- ppp ifdetach
- enter the interface name (default is eInternet)
- ppp ifattach
- enter the interface name (default is eInternet)
- type exit to quit telnet session
- press any key to back to command prompt
- type exit to quit command prompt window (IMPORTANT! I have tried to leave it as it is but the script will not work properly on 2nd iteration)
Hopefully this guide *CAN* help someone out there and if there's anything that I have missed out, mistakes or errors; feel free to inform me!
Thanks!
