Re: How much SBC/Yahoo software do I need installed?

"...When I installed the SBC/Yahoo software.." That was your first mistake, you don't need the sbc/software installed at all to get DSL to work.

First what type of modem do you have a Efficient 5100a (aka 4 lights) or 5100b (aka 5 lights) or another modem?

Do you have a router at all?

Depending on the modem it can handle the PPPoE by itself or XP can do the PPPoE.

Follow this FAQ »Ameritech - SBC FAQ »How do I install or uninstall AT&T/SBC Yahoo! Software?

Thanks for the reply. I have a 5 light SpeedStream 5100 no A or B on the label. I checked the boxes on the OS setup for it to acquire address automatically. If that will work, I'll stick with it.

Re: How much SBC/Yahoo software do I need installe

The 5 light version is the 5100b.

I would follow this FAQ »Ameritech - SBC FAQ »Funhouse 5100b Setup and Reference Info to let the 5100b handle the PPPoE. I just thinks it's easier plus you can see the stats of the modem.
