Understanding Broadband Redirect Messages

If the 2Wire gateway detects a connection problem or an intermittent service error, it generates an error or alert (Broadband Redirect Message) and displays the message within your Web browser. The following messages contain information that can help you resolve some of the most common installation or network conflicts.

Excessive Sessions Warning

This error message typically occurs when your PC has been infected with the Blaster Virus or similar agent. The error message appears because too many simultaneous Internet sessions are opened, which impairs both network and PC performance. Check the PC with an anti-virus program using the latest virus updates to identify and remove the infection.

There may be cases where certain applications running on a PC mimic the excessive session characteristics, creating a false positive error condition. If you are certain that no viruses are present on the PC, enable the Do not show me excessive session

warnings in the future checkbox.

Invalid Customer Information (PPP)

This error message results from an incorrect PPP username and/or password. Click the Set Up Now button to re-enter the correct PPP information and attempt to connect to the broadband network.
