Glad it worked for you, and its also nice to have a little more evidence that CPU IS a determining factor with PPPoE, though I think you went a little overboard on speed and memory, LOL :-) -Kenneth Hadley - Original Message - From: "Robert Chambers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kenneth Hadley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Charles Steinkuehler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "leaf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 3:15 PM Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] upgrading lrp box > Ken: > That was it.

Re: [Leaf-user] upgrading lrp box
Ken: That was it. When I used one PCI and one ISA card it got the IP address from Covad. My connection from Covad is 1.5mbps down/ 384kbps up PPPoE. When I had the 486DLC-40 with 32 meg of memory as the LRP, speed was 538kbps/ 328kbps according to DSL Reports.com. With the HP, PII 400 mhz with 96 meg of memory as my LRP, speed was 1.2mbps/ 313kbps. Had to use my Dell notebook to make the connection to dslreports. The Dell is a Latitude Cpi with 266 PII and 80 meg of memory running Windoze 98 se2 and used IE 5.01 as the browser. Just a little better connection speed huh? :-D Thanks for the help and for your time in modifying Eigerstein2 beta and Dachstein by adding PPPoE to them.

[Leaf-user] upgrading lrp box
I tried to upgrade my lrp box from the little 486DLC to my HP Pavilion which has a PII 400 mhz cpu. So I took the nic's which are 3Com 3c509b ISA bus and the Eigerstein2beta pppoe v.0.4 disk from the 486 and put them into the HP. After the system boots up I checked to see if it found the cards and it did. Eth0 =00:20:AF:40:77:E2 and Eth1=00:60:8C:E9:F3:5E which is what is printed on the nic's, and cables are plugged in correctly ( eth0 is the DSL modem and 5 port switch is on Eth1). What I did notice is that the lrp is not getting an IP address from Covad. "Extern IP" is blank, does not show an IP address. When I put everything back into the 486, guess what it connects up just fine. The 486 machine gets an IP address from Covad. When I had the 3Com nic's in the HP I ran the 3c5x9cfg config program to see if the cards were configured correctly. Any suggestions?
