Seattle, WA | Qwest and PPPoE?? Hello, I just moved to Seattle from Vermont and picked up Qwest DSL. I had Adelphia cable modem in Vermont and has pretty good success.
I am wondering about PPPoE with Qwest.net isp. When I first got my Cisco 678, I entered in my PPP password and logged on. Ever since then, I've never had to. I now have a linksys router and three computers on a lan here. I am still able to use the internet fine without entering a password, or even running the commander software that came with the modem. I attempted to enter the PPPoE login and password into the linksys router setup, but the login fails? Is there something I'm missing about PPPoE??
Thanks,
Rob |

| yep, the cisco 67X series does not use PPPoE on the LAN side connected to your Linksys, so the Linksys does not need to use it, and the cisco most likely isn't even listening for the attempted logins.

Oh okay. Makes sense. Then what is the point of PPPoE? Do I need it for anything? Isn't used to authenticate me on Qwest's network? Thanks.

PPPoE is used between the Cisco 67X and the Central Office (CO). The only time you need to mess with PPPoE is when you have en internal, or a USB modem, at least here is Qwest Territory.
