Not that I would know the answer to this - but am curious as to what happens when you do try to publish via this DW6000 ??
| Rural areas have no cable or telephone broadband. Our option is satellite,
| designed by DirecWay. I was already an Earthlink customer when they became
| an authorized vendor. I purchased my unit/service from Earthlink, not
| knowing that DirecWay had 2 satellite modems. the standard and the pro. EL
| only offers the standard.
|
| I already had the prior generation of sattelite modem, DW4000 I think. It
| worked just fine except I had to use my main PC to host the system and
| software. Other PCs in the house were fed by the #1 PC. It was a bear to
| configure. At the beginning of the year DirecWay came out with the DW6000, a
| self contained modem that feeds any number of PCs via a router of your
| choice. Each PC gets the same signal rather than the old way of #1 being the
| strongest. However, the DW6000 standard will not allow the updating of
| webpages using FrontPage. I understand the Pro does, which I already
| mentioned that Earthlink does not offer.
|
| We purchasers of the DW6000 were not told of this problem up front, probably
| because they were not aware of it. Postings tell me DirecWay eventually
| developed the "Pro" unit to resolve the problem. However, they will not
| honor any refunds or special upgrade costs to their customers. My ISP,
| Earthlink, is supposedly completely in the dark. They can only deal with
| what DirecWay offers them. I'm pushing Earthlink to make me whole. I've
| been waiting 9 months.
|
| The workaround for us users of the DW6000 and FrontPage is to dial the web
| host via a backup telephone number (Earthlink has provided). Uploading
| photos and heavy text via telephone is s-l-o-w and absolutely the pits.
|
| I hope this explanation brings you up to date.
