Hello
I received my siemens SE587 wireless router yesterday (for a Tiscali broadband connection), after much difficulty managed to setup ethernet connection via 192.168.1.1 I entered all the required fields and now can access internet via a wired connection.
My system is a G4 Powermac, OSX 10.4.11, wireless mouse working via bluetooth dongle.WLAN light is solid green when ethernet cable disconnected.
I cannot however get my Mac to recognise/find the Router via browsing /setting up new bluetooth devices.
In system prefs/network settings/bluetooth/PPP I presume I enter tiscali email address & password as account name & password.
What do I enter as telephone no? (I have tried my actual Tiscali no.)
In system prefs/network settings/bluetooth/TCP/IP I have Configure IPV4 manually, IP address as 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers/Search domains are blank.
What do i enter for the IPV6 configs?
IPV6 Address: ? Router: ? Prefix length: ?
In system prefs/network settings/bluetooth/proxies I have left as config manually.
In system prefs/network settings/bluetooth/bluetooth modem – The modems listed are not siemens and the internal modem has automatically selected itself.
I have searched the forums for hours without finding a solution. I have also spent 30 mins on the phone to technical support who could offer no Applemac help.
I have registered to post on the forums and confirmed via email link but still cannot post new threads.
Please help as I have run out of ideas and cannot afford to spend much more time trying to get the Siemens gigaset SE587 to work. All I seem to find on the forums is people saying it is terrible and rarely works with a mac wirelessly. I would love to be the exception!
Any help or directions to threads I may have missed gretly appreciated. Thanks a worn out Geek.
