Title: pppoe
Post by: turboa on October 23, 2001, 02:35:54 AM

benjamin,

how did you get your dsl to work with e-smith?

i've tried to use the pppoe setting (as my residential dsl is a dynamic ip) with my username and password.  do i have to use the DHCP w/ address as identifier as my external interface?

i've tried dyndns.org ( i have the username and password) but i can't get the e-smith to connect to the internet. . .

on the admin panel it keeps showing me an external ip . . .which shouldn't be correct?

anyway, could you tell me what steps youtook in order to get it to connect to dsl?

thanks alot

dano

I've got Ameritech DSL with a westell modem and dynamic IP.  I got it working very on the first try, but I honestly don't remember all the steps I went through.

Below are my console configurations.  I know I did NOT enter that 64.108.76.3 IP,  The PPPoE driver must be doing it.  I just entered the local IP addresess and subnet mask info and it worked.

Hope this helps a little.....
