DSL services typically employ PPPOE which requires a log-in. Most router configurations aren't working because the user hasn't setup the DSL log-in and password for their account. My .02 dollar's worth. --gary r. tennesen [log in to unmask] <---- and holding ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heidrun Schröder" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 10:09 AM Subject: [PCBUILD] router problem with DSL > Hi there Listers, > got DSL last weekend and can't use it like planned with my LAN of 3 computers through a router. Being directly connected to the DSL modem I can use it with that computer now at least. The router was set up following the instructions but maybe I missed something after all. Does anyone out there have an idea what might be the obvious mistake that "everyone" does!? I mean, I bought the router from the Telekom and was told I could go online through it with up to 32 computers licensed. So it must be possible even though I have been told by a friend of my son, that he knows nobody who managed. I am sure you list gurus manage and know how to do it. I am wondering if maybe the missing flat-rate for unlimited access could cause this problem? I had ordered it altogether but they just forgot it, so I will now have to wait for another month or so until I can get that. > Maybe if the question is too general and you would need a lot of information > about my system and LAN, there is somewhere out there a tutorial about how to do it and you could tell me where to look for it!? > TIA > Heidrun Schroeder > > > ________________________________________________________________ > Keine verlorenen Lotto-Quittungen, keine vergessenen Gewinne mehr! > Beim WEB.DE Lottoservice: http://tippen2.web.de/?x=13 > > Visit our website regularly for FAQs, > articles, how-to's, tech tips and much more > http://freepctech.com > Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcbuild.shtml
