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?

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.

Starfire is The Future Now! Clarke's Third Law: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

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,

Mantra

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

there comes a time in a man's life when he reflects on his life and asks.... why in the hell did I ever do that?

try any one of these in the router for dns
64.160.192.70
63.200.183.70
63.202.63.72
63.200.115.40
64.169.10.71

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.

Thanks,

I believe it is in the SBC FAQs in the pacbell or swbell forums...
