I don't see how any of this will provide me with what I desire. I desire to
plug my DSL modem directly into my router and use that router's address as
the gateway for my LAN. There's no reason that with only ONE registered IP
address that every PC in my LAN can't access the internet. There are many
solutions for this, I would probably use PAT on the router for instance. The
only thing that stands between me and my desire, is this friggin, useless,
does nothing but supply accounting info to the ISP, waste of bandwidth of a
protocol, PPPoE! Once you plug the Modem into the router, you somehow have
to authenticate to the ISP PPPoE server with a name and password. I have not
found a way to implement this yet. This make me mad!
Thanks for the ideas...

Subject: Re: DSL internet with PPPoE
Tim, PPPoE fundamentals are pretty much similar to PPP over WAN links but
PPPoE breaks the boundary on router/modem & brings down to host level where
PPP is initiated just like a router but instead of serial links they send
PPP request over Ethernet frame which may add more Layer 2 frame as
configured on router/modem towards dslcloud.
If second PC need to connect to internet that PC too needs an internet
account & PPPoE software in order to access else first PC can be multihomed
& provide a gateway service to other host on LAN.
thanks
rahul.
