Ameritech-sbc fix for pppoe

The following was posted at the Ameritech Forum-

I have tried this with 4 customers successfully.
Those that have the 5360 modem-
and are unable to connect
to the Internet via Linksys Routers-
You always get Authorization failed-
or PPPOE server unavailable

Try the following:


The Linksys Router does have a tiny glitch for some people.

Here is what I had to do.( I heard other SBC users having this problem)

1. Make sure Linky Router says "disconnected" in status Page
(after trying to connect at least Once !)

2. Plug PC back into DSL Modem directly

3. Give it a few seconds since it will search for DHCP again
(or power off/on modem)

4. Sign in to ameritech through computer with your PPPoE software(sometimes you have to reboot, but very rarely)

5. Disconnect PPPoE on computer

6a. RE-Plug DSL Modem BACK into WAN port on router.
6b. Re-Plug PC into Router

7. HIT Connect on Status Page on router

8.You should now show "STATUS:Connected"

9.Release and renew IP to get DNs for PC-and open another browser window-
should go straight to Home page

If you ever turn off the modem, you have to do this again !
