But you still need to set the router for PPPOE mode to log in correctly to the DSL (w/ your user name password) unless you have
purchased a dedicated DNS from your provider
- even though you are "always on", periodically most DSLs reset their DNS and the router needs to log on again (set Keep Alive for
20 seconds)
| Steve, I will check on your last suggestion. I did install
| the Bellsouth software that came with the DSL modem. I
| will de-install and try publishing.
|
| Ref your previous questions: The router doesn't set up for
| PPoE when using a standard DSL (always on) link. According
| to the manual, PPoe is used with a DSL that is activated
| on demand by the user. My DSL is always on 24/7. I also
| checked to make sure which protocol I was using to publish
| (http or ftp). I am using http as a default. The web
| server that I'm using doesn't have ftp support running.
|
| We'll keep trying & thanks again for the assistance, Pete
