MttFrog13 Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 I'm on verizon DSL and currently set-up on a ppoe connection through my router, how do i get the regular connection where u can just plug in a connect instead of having toset-up a ppoe connection on my westell 327 gateway.

Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 Not going to happen.. Since it is on a telephone line and you "dial in" you have to use the PPP protocol.. PPP= Point to Point Protocol.. What this does is provide security, traffic monitoring, and compression. PPPoE allows TCP/IP from ethernet to be sent via a virtual circuit.. similar to dial up another computer with an ethernet port. DSL doest this because the ISP is based on the telephone lines and if they didn't you could, my guess would be, access the service for free. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPPoE Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10948-how-to-set-up-automatic-connection-instead-of-ppoe/#findComment-114239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted February 1, 2006 Author CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 In that article, it says that u should have firewalls configured right or they will cause problems with the pppoe connection, is there something I should do if im using windows firewall with sp2, and nortan antivirus and windows antispyware auto protect.

Swimmer Posted February 1, 2006 CID Share Posted February 1, 2006 No you should be alright.. If i remember correctly you send TCP/IP to the modem.. then it injects the PPPoE frame.. So what you are taking about would be like an edge firewall.. In which case you could have dropped packets.
