Re: Back with Verizon DSL -- New experience/install
said by drake  :After authentication, I went into my modem's diagnostic page at » 192.168.1.1 ; it asked for my user name/password. The weird thing I did notice, I was able to connect via PPPoE client while the modem was handling the "current" PPPoE connection; it did the same with my router, too. FYI the westell 2200/6100/327W are capable of doing PPPOE passthrough, that is, if you are using a PPPOE client in your pc the PPPOE authentication will work. Since you already have configured the modem to PPPOE authenticate, you can eliminate the pc PPPOE client and can obtain an ip from the router/modem(6100 is a one port router), otherwise you've been using two connections from Verizon which is against the TOS. If you want to mix another router, you will have to set the 6100 router/modem in bridge mode, instructions on how to do the bridge mode with this modem has been posted here just do a search, once that is accomplished configure your router's PPPOE shim to connect to verizon. |

| Thanks, bluepoint. I'm already familiar with how to adjust the settings in my 6100. I did so after I figured out the 6100 *already* logged into the PPPoE server. However, I wanted my modem in bridge mode to begin with. Reason being is, if I wanted to swap back and forth between connecting directly to the 6100 or putting my router in the mix, I find it easier, or just the way it is setup. It's like that now, my router takes care my PPPoE authentication (was the same way in '03 using my previous Linskys BEFSR41 + the Westell 2110). |
