Re: PPPoE & PacBell
I have Earthlink and they use PPPOE (winpoet). It is kind of a pain because i really would like an "always on connection" and the PPPOE really limits my sharing capabilites. (very few hardware nat/firewall/sharing boxes support pppoe) Also Winpoet doesnt have a "connect at startup option" but i think some other pppoe clients might.
I have heard some reports that Pacbell does use pppoe (enternet client i believe). Anyone else hear this? |

Anon | I have Pacbell enhanced DSL, and it does NOT use PPPoE. However their basic service does. I talked to one of their techs the other day to confirm this. And let me tell ya, they are NOT EVEN CLOSE to happy about it.. All of the techs seem to HATE it. |

Anon | Well...you must have at least 5 PC connected for that 5 STATIC IP you paid for. By the way, how is th D/L speed is like when you have 5 PC D/Ling simultaneously with a max 6Mbits account. |
