- HOWTO advice needed...Broadband link failover to standalone modem.
- Posted by Paul Smith on October 27th, 2003
I have a system with a Netgear DG814 router, Windows 2000 server and 9
XP Professional clients. (Which is working well...despite other
peoples woes with the DG814) The Netgear router connects to BT
Openworld, and is set as the gateway for the other PCs. We have had
two outages of Broadband from BT over the last weeks, and it has
highlighted the fact we need a backup link to the outside world.
The Netgear router has no facility for a backup analog modem, so my
question has to be:
How do I implement a system (automatic preferably, although
semi-automatic or manual would be OK), whereby I don't have to
reconfigure loads of stuff to get a backup dial-up connection to work.
I guess I connect the analog modem to the Server, but then I start to
stretch my capabilities. Do I need to set up routes in the routing
table of the server, do I set up RAS or do I do soemthing else?
Thanks in advance,
Paul Smith.

I used a Vigor 2600x which has an iSDN fallback, so I'm sure there must be
analogue fallback versions out there.
