Re: enternet 1.6 I realize that, I was just giving the update on EnterNet. PPPoE is native in Windows XP. Just like this:
1) Create a new connection
2) Choose Connect to Internet
3) Create Manually (option 2)
4) Connect Using Broadband Connection that requires a username and password
5) Give it a name (IE: DSL)
6) Put in your name and password (Don't forget to add your ISP's domain as part of your userid, IE: for Verizon it is userid@verizon.net)
7) Right click and choose properties for that new connection
8) Empty entry in Service name to let it use Wan PPPOE
9) Go to Networking Folder, choose Internet Protocol TCP/IP
10) Choose Properties - Make sure everything is auto assigned

Anon | yeah, that's pretty slick on microsoft's part - convenient for the end user though, but no love for anyone else. did you see how XP even has a driver for the nic and how simple the nic installation was? nice, one less thing you have to install or configure. raspppoe is a nice touch for w2k. microsoft should go ahead and throw in a virus scanner in the OS and call it a day, they added everything else. i wonder is life with a mac like this? nice page you have by the way. |

| OSX on the Mac also has built in PPPoE support. Also Macs come with integrated ethernet cards so you don't have to worry about installing one. So yup life with a Mac is like that also. Thanks for the nice words about my site also.

Anon | that's cool to hear, there's no reason why an internet connection should drain resources and be a pain to configure on one computer. and no problem on the compliment, it's so hard to come by accurate information these days, you learn to appreciate it when you see it. how do you like enternet 1.6? i thought about taking a look at it just to see has it improved, is it worth a look? |

If that happened you can kiss your computer good bye. MS designing an anti-virus program??? Big No NO as well as big EXPLOIT. Can you imagine all the breeches, patches, leaks, backdoors...ahhh!! It would make sense since they designed the OS from the ground up, but it's MS so there will be bugs of course. It would also add to their monopoly.
XP PPPoE is very nice. I only have the TCP/IP protocol bound to my PCI modem (which XP supports nicely). No more Enternet junk for me.

EnterNet V1.6 actually doesn't exist anymore it got recalled. V1.5b is the latest the next coming out is V1.5c. Which I do like, I'm an EnterNet fan just because it doesn't use Microsoft Dial-up networking like 2 other PPPoE clients. Then of course for Windows 2000 I like RASPPPoE.
