ADSL Customer Self-Installation Guide

This guide is for Memory Lane customers who have chosen a self-install. A basic knowledge of computers and networking is assumed; as such, this guide is not a comprehensive tutorial, but rather a brief reference.

Network Configuration

We need to add the MAC address of your network card (NIC) to our DHCP database before you will be able to access our ADSL service. If you are using a router, we will instead need the WAN MAC address from your router. Please call in before your firm date with your MAC address so we can have your account properly configured for you to access our network.

Find your Router’s WAN MAC address

Please consult the owner’s manual for your model of router for information on how to login to your router and obtain the WAN MAC address. This information is most commonly listed on a "Status" page.

Configure the TCP/IP protocol bound to your NIC to obtain IP and DNS address information automatically. If you are using a router, please login to your router and configure it to obtain this information automatically as well. Note: This is the default configuration for most routers.

Lastly, configure your Internet browser to use your local area network to access the internet. This step is especially important if you have previously been configured for dial-up.

Dial-Up Configuration

Memory Lane ADSL customers receive a complementary 30 hours of dial-up access per month. If you would like to use this feature, please let us know. Your username and password will be identical to your email; your access number is 526-6488.
