Sky PPPOA Username and Password & first 10 days....

Hi

I've just moved to sky from O2 (voluntarily) and I've been sent a new Skybox SR102. I've noticed that I'm on PPPOA and not MER so does anyone know what username and password I should be putting in? (and in fact the other settings such as MTU)

I'm currently using user:install@o2broadband.co.uk pw:install but as I'm not a migrated O2 customer but essentially a new Sky customer I'm not sure if this is correct? The connection is working at the moment though.

Also, they told me to leave my router connected for the first 10 days so they can set the line correctly. Is it OK that I've got the 7800N connected and not the SkyBox?

Thanks

Can't comment much on how to extract the password, but I have heard you might need to use wireshark to do so

You need a program called WireShark to extract the username/password from the Sky router.

Personally I'd be using the Sky router for the 10day training period rather than your own, just in case.
