| Hi,
I am a prodigy DSL user and PacBell/SBC provided me with the hardware associated with the DSL connection.
The hardware provided was a Efficient 5360 ADSL modem (060-5360-002) and I run Prodigy Internet 5.5 on a Windows ME/ Windows 2000 machine. When I use either machine with the software provided by Prodigy/PPPoE and modem directly, everything works in terms of a connection.
I am now trying to access the internet with both machines at the same time by using a Linksys BEFSR41 router. Here is where it gets too simple to be true!
I did all the right connections, removed the PPPoE software off the two machines and tried to connect.
When I access »192.168.1.1[?] for the linksys router, it says I am connected and I am able to disconnect too. However, whatever I do, I cannot access any other website, either with the IP address or otherwise and it always returns that I am not connected to the internet.
I have a Intel 10/100 Ethernet card on both machines.
Looks like the connection from Ethernet card to Router (using the »192.168.1.1[?]) is okay as it is accessible.
Also, the router says it is able to connect between the router and the modem (connect/ disconnect to ISP).
Prodigy DSL support bolts from me when they hear the word "router". Is there any advise from the knowledgeable folks out here?
Regards,

Well, nevermind, I have part no. 060-5360-123... it stills does the same thing, but no upgrade available... should I at least try a crossover cable? |

This is really more of a Linksys issue, so please take any further discussion over there, but it sounds like a DNS issue. You'll have to set the DNS either in the router to be served by the router's DHCP (if it can) or in the TCP/IP configuration of your 2000/Me machine.
If this is it, say so, but if not, have fun in Linksysland.

To people who are having problems with cheap routers, sometimes, you get what you pay for. People who spend less than $75 on a Belkin, D-Link, or other cheap broadband router WILL have issues. Linksys is fine until you try to manage outgoing traffic. |

You want to be plugging into the WAN port, and you don't want to use a crossover cable. Have you, also, checked the DNS settings?

Re: 5360 wan port issues? (prob interfacing w/rout I'm using a straight-through cable now. Also, I have tried setting it up with and without the dns settings in the router, and still nothing...
I'm very frustrated... The barricade worked great with my cable modem... |

| I figured out when I ping "www.yahoo.com", nothing happens, but when I ping an IP address, I get back 100% return.
Looks like my DNS is hosed - I tried both "automatic" and the "manual" DNS entries. Still something is hosed and I cannot connect.

I'm sure you mentioned this somewhere but I'm too lazy to read....what os? and anything else besides the modem? some routers you have to manually configure DNS on the router DNS on the computer will sometimes not work....also what DNS you using?

This is not a 5360 problem since it is a bridge unit and blindly passes all data to either a router or a PPPoE client on your PC. This is a Linksys problem.

| Is there a recommendation for a router that works well with a Efficient 5360
or
a modem that supports PPPoE and works well with the linksys BEFSR41
Thanks,

Baxter, KY | all bridges support anything, like doc olds said it passes traffic blindly. Are you forcing your dns on the router or on the pcs?

| Thank you very much. It works!
To summarize,
if you are using a Efficient 5360 with a Linksys BEFSR41 WITH Prodigy DSL service (through Pacbell hardware), 1 or more of the DNS servers (mentioned by CCCMTech) should be explicitly defined in the router DNS table.
Perhaps, someone out there can catalog this as part of a FAQ.
