It's even more complicated than that, in that some ISPs (mine, as an example) offer both types of service -- static and PPPoE/dynamic. That said, I ONLY see PPPoE in connection with DSL, never with cable ... if someone has experience with a cable service (or any service other than DSL) that uses PPPoE, I'd be interested in reading about it. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
