I'm curious about something. is the linksys befsr41 router any different to setup than an apple airport router? I know the befsr41 is wired and the airport is wireless. I don't mean that. I mean the "bridged mode" thing. if I understand correctly, when you follow the instructions at the above link, the 2210 modem will be put in "bridged mode" and the befsr41 router will handle the pppoe. a while ago you and wayjac showed moribundman and me how to connect a 2210 modem to a mac via an airport router: »[General] PPPoE or DHCP with Earthlink (Mac OS X 10.4)? it seemed that in that case the 2210 modem handles the pppoe. are the two setups different or are am I overlooking something? Thanks

Yes the two setups are different One setup has the modem bridged with a router doing the pppoe The other setup has the modem doing the pppoe

I once had a befsr41 and I remember that, unlike the befsr41 setup in this case, it was the dsl modem that handled the pppoe.

Doctor Olds I Need A Remedy For What's Ailing Me.

Otherwise you are cascading Routers and performing NAT multiple times (Double-NAT in your case) which isn't the optimal setup.

The dsl modem can be configured to do the pppoe or the dsl modem can be configured for bridge mode, when the modem is bridged a router or computer must do the pppoe
