clubs: | Re: SBC Yahoo! DSL installer disk For what? Any new SBC DSL customers don't really need the disk. The 5100b/5 light modem does PPPoE on the modem.
Also the bloat ware is useless. Just use XP PPPoE, raspppoe or dsl/cable router for pppoe. | |

| Re: SBC Yahoo! DSL installer disk said by garyvand  :
You really need to specify what it is that you're trying to accomplish. Most of what's on the CD is unnecessary:
»SBC DSL FAQ »What software is included? Do I have to install it?
Wouldn't it be fair to say that if you have XP, or a router, or a modem with router features, that NOTHING from the install CD is needed? | |

| Re: SBC Yahoo! DSL installer disk It would be even fair to say that you don't even need the install disk at all. There are free alternatives to the software SBC/Yahoo provides on that disk and none of the crapware.

Emmett, ID | Some of the software on the Disk can also be downloaded to install one piece at a time. Which piece of software were you looking for?

| Re: SBC Yahoo! DSL installer disk Did you go to he link I posted above? It describes how to do the initial registration manually. For more help, you will have to describe your hardware: modem model, router if any, what OS on the PC, how many PCs, and if more than one PC are they connected in a network. | |

| THE Installer CD is only needed if your a customer who does not have a router or has a modem prior to 5100B. Only reason why you would need the CD is Enternet300. Now Enternet 300 can be downloaded from download.sbcglobal.net. E300 for Mac, Windows and Linux are there. SBC Browser can be downloaded from sbc.yahoo.com/caredslactivate and click on UPGRADE NOW. | |

Bay Area | Re: SBC Yahoo! DSL installer disk Why bother with Enternet 300 when you have a much more resource friendly RasPPPoE.
