Re: RASPPPOE Setup for AOL
said by Mastlord:
Ok, so do you dial after you connect to AOL or before? And if it does work and dials fine n everything, all I have to do is try live and it will work?
As bombs stated, this is protocal used to connect to your AOL Broadband DSL service. Don't get confused seeing how it's grouped as a dial-up property (essentially it is) on the Win9x/ME.
I really do suggest you getting yourself a router.
How exactly did you setup your network with your Xbox?

What? Tell me how you do it and that will be all, b/c im new to this....
I have already wrote the directions in the first few posts of this thread.
I suggest you educate yourself a little about PPPoE protocols.
»www.carricksolutions.com/pppoe.php
With this setup, you don't have to use the AOL client to connect online since you'll be establishing a connection with your PPPoE instead.
Now as for your Xbox, how did you set it up with your network?
It is possible to connect Xbox directly to your DSL modem and inputting your login information to connect the Xbox online, likewise your PC won't have access to the net until you reconnect it to the DSL modem.

Okay, let me see if I get this picture straight.
Both of your computers (both upstairs and downstairs) and your Xbox are connected to the Hub. Port 1 not not be used since your DSL Modem is connected to the Uplink port on the Hub correct?
Is my description of your network correct?
All computers, including the Xbox, must use different screen names in order for all of them to connect online.
Your Xbox should be able to go online if you just enter yourscreenname@aol.com as the login name with your password to that specific screen name in the Xbox setup.

@aol.com | Yes, you have it correct. What do you mean by "...that specific screen name in the Xbox setup." It still doesn't work cat 5 goes to the one that says Uplink.... I don't understand why its not working...No ip address is what it says. |

OK, Since you have the Modem connected to the uplink port, remember that Port 1 cannot be used.
Use a screen name on the account not used by the other computers on the network and enter your password for that screenname.
And to follow the login in name followed in the format yourscreennmae@aol.com
So for example my screenname Jet88372
Then I type Jet88372@aol.com and password for that account.

Nope. The internet is never safe unless you get yourself a firewall of some sort.
