Re: RASPPPOE Setup for AOL

For Windows 2k/XP Setup:

To start, get your copy of RASPPPOE here at its official home page:

»user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/

Unzip the file into it's own folder.

Now to install RASPPPOE, go into your Control Panel and double-click on Network Connections.

Now in your Network Connections window, select the network setting that is connection to your modem or the adapter your modem is using.

Next, right-click the selection and click on Properties. On this next window go ahead and click on Install

In this next window, select Protocol and click Add

In the next window, go ahead and click Have Disk...

In this next window, you'll be prompted to locate the files needed to install the protocol. Click Browse...

Begin searching for the folder that contains the RASPPPOE file. I originally saved it onto my desktop so that it's easier to find. Once found, double-click the folder.

Select RASPPPOE.INF and Open it. (It doesn't matter which one choose, actually, since XP will choose the right component later. This is just to get you going).

Once your search for the file is done, click OK

You'll receive another prompt where it lists the device you want to install. Select PPP over Ethernet Protocol. During installation, a window Hardware Installation may come up several times (typically four times per installed network adapter), warning you that the driver has no digital signature or Windows Logo. Make sure you click Continue Anyway every time you are prompted to allow successful installation of the protocol.

You should now have PPP over Ethernet Protocol installed in that window.
Select it and close the window.

Now click Start >> Run

In the dialogue box type RASPPPOE

Click on the button Query Available Services. Once your are provided the list, click on the button Create a Dial-up Connection for the selected Adapter. Then click Exit.

A dial-up shortcut will be created in your network connections as shown in the picture below:

It'd be a convenient if you copy this shortcut onto your desktop.

Now double click on the dial-up shortcut.

This is it. All you have to do now is to type in your username and password. Remember to type your username as yourscreenname@aol.com. And click Dial!

The PPPoE method only applies to DSL.

We haven't find out a way to connect through cable as of yet.

Re: RASPPPOE Setup for AOL

Let's see if everything is set.

Open the Network and Dial-up Connections folder. Then right click the Internet connection that you want to share and select Properties. Click the Advanced tab, then check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection."

Also note that since your have another NIC there, you provided with a drop down. Choose the appropriate adapter that will be used to share the internet connection. Then just click.

And that should be it.

Connect with your computer online (pppoe), and try again with your PS2

Well_Duh @aol.com	Re: RASPPPOE Setup for AOL Oh, damn. Only DSL? Bugger! Hopefully AOL will make a 'lite' version of their software sometime soon. If AOL uses the same lines as RR, is it possible to rig it as a RR customer? From what I know some domains are allowed to be accessed w/o AOL open, such as... »www.aroundcentralflorida.com/ It it possible to fake an AOL connection to access all domains and IPs?

I would, But I really strapped for cash right now

Also if i did get a router, would i be able to network both my PS2 and Xbox online? or is the xbox still not able to get online using aol thru the RASPPPOE Setup?

No no no, there's no need to use protocals when it's done on the hardware. Everything is done on the hardware. After setting up the hardware, it will connect itself online. Any computer connected connected to the router will have instant access to the net. Connect both your Xbox and and PS2 on the available ports. That's it.

Hey Hollywoood, if you really want to start playing now connect your PS2 or Xbox directly with the modem and input the data that you used on the PPPoE (username, password, e.t.c.) and you should be able to connect just fine

Hey

cool thanks

Tried plugging modem in to xbox and PS2 and it worked

But its a pain in the ass having to un hook and rehook the cbles back up afterwards.....

Still want to get ICS working but for some reason it never works for me

any info you can give me to get it working? or a walk thru of some kind?

edit: Also would i be able to get a cheap hub and be able to use that with the aol thru RASPPPOE Setup? and if soo what cables would i need to hook the xbox and PS2 up with? I'm guessing rj45 cable but am not sure....

follow the instructions. for password, it's the password for your aol screen name. if your screen name is jdoe123 enter your jdoe123 password you usually use to connect to aol.

no, you've got it all wrong. raspppoe eliminates the aol client. to use xbox live, just type in your aol sn and password. that's all.

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.

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?
