PPPoE clients for Windows or Mac may be obtained here »support.earthlink.net/su ··· ient.jsp Or you will need a Router to put between the UHP Modem and your PCs that supports PPPoE. There are several brands like Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, Zyxel, etc., that support PPPoE connections. #1. In your Address or URL field of your browser, type <B>»172.16.0.254/config.html ··· t;/b> #2.

When the PPPoE light on your UHP DSL modem becomes green, close the web browser and open a new web browser window to access the Internet. NOTE: IE 7 Will Not Work with the UHP Modem. Please use a standards compliant browser to configure your UHP Modem. That means use Firefox, Opera, or IE8. by Exodus edited by Doctor Olds The Netopia is a little different than the earlier UHP modems from Earthlink. To put it into Bridge Mode start with the page shown in the image above and follow the steps below. 1] Connect directly to the Netopia UHP Modem then type 172.16.0.254 into your browser (or copy/paste the IP) or you should be able to click here »172.16.0.254/ to access the Web Interface of the modem. 2) Next Click on Help. 3) Now Click on Advanced Settings. 4) Next to DHCP/NAT/PPPoE Mode - Enable or Disable, Select Disable and that will put the UHP Modem into Bridge Mode. 5) Once in Bridge Mode, you have to manually set the VPI/VCI (sometimes written as rVPI/rVCI) in the Netopia UHP Modem as it is not automatically detected in Bridge Mode. Use either 0/35 or 8/35 as needed for your area. Now setup your Router to use PPPoE, Always On connection and add only your Username and Password info. Your PC should stay set to "Obtain IP Address Automatically". by Doctor Olds How to Get to the Logs, the Diagnostics Page, and the DSL Statistics Page in the Unified Hardware Platform (UHP) DSL Modem quote:Please Copy/Paste the log contents into your next »Earthlink DSL Forum post.

Note:This modem will power cycle after initial setup of the username and whenever a different username/password is entered. If it is not configured, the first time this modem attempts to gain synchronization may take up to four minutes. by Exodus edited by Doctor Olds by Doctor Olds by Doctor Olds This modem is highly configurable by ISPs so this may not even work for some. If you don't know what you're doing - DON'T DO THIS. You may be charged for replacement if you muck it up. AND DON'T SAY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED. 1). Your source IP *must* be in the 192.168.1.x subnet. Statically set a PC to something like 192.168.1.5 (not .1, that's the modem). 2). Telnet to 192.168.1.1 with a password of "mspgzyx". My version is stuck in BRIDGE mode, regardless the setting. Other ISP versions (and possibly other EL/Covad versions for that matter) may vary widely from this. NOTE: To get your ADSL Line Stats run the commands that are in bold seen in the Telnet output shown below: quote: by Bill_MI edited by Doctor Olds Earthlink already setup a walkthrough on how to configure your UHP modem with a playstation2.
