Its an always on connection, it shouldn't need connecting to Sky, it should do it automatically so all you do is open Internet Explorer and away you go.

Anyway, "Error 300" is a common Sky Broadband issue.

Error Codes Explained

TS = Technical Support.

Error 100 = No Sync possible fix, plug into the master socket with a new filter or try the test socket if you have one. If this doesn't work ring TS for more help.

Error 200 = Can't Authenticate possible fix, try rebooting the router by pushing a pen or something into the reset button, if this doesn't work ring TS for more help.

Error 300 = No Ip address posible fix, try rebooting the router by pushing a pen or something into the reset button if this fails turn it off for an hour, if you still get error 300 ring TS for more help.
