Re: Thomson DCM475 Digital/Broadband Modem Linux Support . - altman - 12-17-2014
Thanx for the help Wirezfree .
Finally got my laptop working hardwired & / wifi , & my mother s tower working , but only / wifi ! wonder why .
Don t know what I did in order to have this combo working , called Acanac again , now had someone that knew more stuff than the other person before at the same place , go figure . lol
Only need to have it working with the cable hooked in the tower which is Win 8.1 , which can t be removed ...lol
What I can tell you Wirezfree is thanx allot for the help given , appreciated mate .

What kind of business is that ! Getting pissed off right now after 3rd day attempt .

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.)
Re: Thomson DCM475 Digital/Broadband Modem Linux Support . - altman - 12-18-2014
lol , I understand your point of vue mate .
I know Corporate Service sux so much in most fields , having big bonuses nonetheless .

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"

My bet would be that s it s Corporate World Wild .

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 .

Glad you are making progress.
