You would normally also need to authenticate onto your ISP's network, a function previously performed by the modem. Unless you connect a router behind the modem to do the PPPoE authentication you will need to do this at the PC. > This should ensure that my IP will not change. There is a possibility that you will pick up a new IP address if your connection resync's. > All I want to do is to run a test speed from: testmy.net I will be *really* surprised if you see a difference in speed in any way attributable to the change you want to implement at the modem. -- Regards, Mick
