My usual answer:

Don't use PPPoE on the XP box--the Linksys box should do that for you; just gotta get the correct IP's, etc. from SBC. None of the desktops should know you're using DSL, PPPoE, or what-have-you; the Linksys should be the only one to handle those details.

Make sure the liknsys does the PPPoE vs the XP. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* 'In view of the fact that Microsoft is a condemned monopolist and on the other hand the internal messages and financial transactions of SCO look ever doubtful, Microsoft should be really anxious that to the own company something does not remain sticking from the Gestank of the SCO.' --Plagarized from [link\|http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040322133607169\|GROKLAW]

I'll check with the other stuff too... unfortunately they're computer-ignorant and I have to set up a time to go look at the machine. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Set the IP address on any machine on the network to 192.168.1.nn (anything but 1) Bring up the browser and type "[link\|http://192.168.1.1\|http://192.168.1.1]" (sometimes you have to hit it again to get a response) Leave user name blank and tab to password. Type in "admin". The setup screen will look different depending on revision level. In any case find where it says "Connection type" and set to PPPoE. You may have to save and reset at this point depending on rev level Set up user name and password. Save and reset before going to any other page. Go to the status page and see if it has connected. If not, and if hitting the "Connect" button doesn't work, something is wrong with the PPPoE user name or password. Go back to Setup page and set the LAN IP address you want. Set up DHCP as you want it (or turn it off if you don't want it. NOTE: DHCP must be off to use port forwarding. Do not use any SBC/Yahoo or Linksys software at any point. Note: with the Linksys you need to save your settings before going to a different page or they'll be discarded.

Post #149,968 by orion 4/4/04 12:53:57 PM Reply	Verified that is how I did it with my Linksys. The Linksys program requires that you have PPPoe set up with the DSL modem, and then hook the Linksys up to it so it can read the settings from the XP PPPoe connection. Only problem is that if you choose not to use PPPoe and use direct Internet instead, XP ghosts out the PPPoe option and never lets you select it again! The XP PPPoe clobbers the Linksys PPPoe when both are active and on the same router. SBC software is Spyware, slows down the system a lot as well. Linksys software is not required. The only reason why you would need SBC software is to use the Enternet 500 PPPoe driver for Windows 2000 and lower that do not have a built in PPPoe Driver like XP and above has. Also you need the SBC software to create an account before you can even set up PPPoe, after that you can remove it. In case you do not want to use the SBC software to create an account, you can phone the helpdesk and request that they create an account for you. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
