VanBuren Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 im no expert in modems, but i belive you can run PPPoE without using a router http://www.dslreports.com/faq/2252 "Q: Raising MTU from 1480 with WinXP, using *built in* PPPoE connection software. (#2252) A: As of 10/15/01, there is no way known to raise MTU in WinXP from 1480. This issue is seen only by WinXP users who are connecting with the built in PPPoE connection software. If you change to RASPPPoE, or use a router instead, your MTU should then default to 1492. RASPPPoE is popular, free, and less problematic than WinPoet (another choice). This small difference (12 bytes) in MTU is negligible however, and should cause no concern. Check back from time to time though for a "fix"." the "built in" setup look like this http://dslnuts.com/pppoe/XPCON.htm VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
