here is my network connections folder

 

Does your DSL company work through PPPoE, or does it simply use a DCHP system?

 

PPPoE sounds familiar. its yahoo SBC DSL.

 

Then you;ll need to connect to your router, set it up to connect via PPPoE, put in your username and password into the router (I usually set a idle-disconnect time of about 1~2 days), unplug the power from your DSL modem, plug the router inbetween the modem and the computer with proper connections, setup a new broadband connection in your network control panel to find the network via DHCP, turn your modem back on, and hope your ISP doesn't do MAC logging.

Heh... good luck!

 

most dsl providers don't use MAC logging for anything.

 

True, because the DSL authentication helps them monitor their network utilization... but SBC is a particularly evil DSL provider h:

 

:doh: i need to do what with the thing?

i remember logging into the router and setting all that up already. i had the router in before. but took it off because i needed support from yahoo. then settings were changed and the router doesnt work now.

oh well.

 

If you know what setting was changed, you can always go back into the router and make the necessary changes... but I'm guessing you don't know what was changed :-\

 

:no:
