Re: Never heard anything like it
said by BigVe  :Not quite sure of your real problem but i would suggest to then get a Router and let it take care of the connection.Just set modem to bridge.Thats the setup i had a while back. they use PPPoATM so you cant use a router like you would with a normal isp thats what his problem is [maybe something to do with their msn crap?] i get exceptional speeds, but very unstable latency, altho gaming is acceptable, it would be nice to get consistantly low latency... |

| Who cares what "they" use? You should listen to the other poster and change your modem to bridge mode and use a router with PPPoE. |

| once again, they use PPPoATM, routers cant do PPPoATM. thats why they use PPPoATM.
granted, PPPoATM is faster... it really is... but our normal hardware simply does not have support for it. seeing as how its ppp over ATM and not ppp over Ethernet. |

Portland, OR | That's odd. I put the modem in bridge mode, have my router do PPPoE authentication, and everything just works. Are you sure your ISP is Qwest? |
