My parents have just bought a new computer. They have a bigpond cable connection. How can you (or is it even possible)to download the bigpond login program when I first connect the new computer to the cable modem? Apparently, my folks were never given any installation disks from telstra.

Thanks heaps in advance.

setup another network card in current box and share it via ICS in windows, that or you could by a router that firewalls your off from the net and does automatic login.

alternatly you could also setup a linux box say p100 or something with 2 networks cards and switch/hub.

login software can be found here BPA Login

there's an FTP site that you can access without logging in which has the software, but i don't remember what it is

ftp://update-server isnt it? ^

yeh

open up command prompt (start > run > then type "cmd" without the "")

type ftp update-server and its in there somewhere...
