| My VCI was 8, 35. The previous modem [3341] had 0,0. When I tried to change it to 0,0, it would not validate the settings.
I *did* get it to work - by turning autoconfig to *on*. Yes, *on*. I am very confused as my ISP is a very small one, not owned by AT&T/BellSouth/SBC, etc. But it is all working; my 5 static IPs are working [i had to disable stateful inspection on PPPoE so incoming traffic to my servers would work; yes, i am allowed to run servers  ].
I did need to use the telnet interface to change the userid to not have it appended with @bellsouth.net. I also upgraded from r6 to r9 firmware. But the key to getting it all to work was turning autoconfig to on. It was already set to off according to the telnet interface, so I figured I would turn it on then off again, but when things started working with it turned on, I stopped fiddling with it. Before I would get a red "Internet" LED on the front as PPPoE would error out according to syslog. But once autoconfig was on, it worked great and has continued to work.
Thanks very much for the tips/link - that really saved me!
