Could you please speak in english here!!!

What are you asking??

I assoume by the PPPoe you have DSL.

There is a place in the router setup to put your username and password.

HEHEHEHEH ....:D

When you use PPPoE you are not always connected to the net. PPPoE works by "faking" a phone connection and ,like a phone connection ,it needs you to login.

When you got your dsl the ISP should have provided login information and a program to use for the DSL connection.

Now that you have a DSL Linksys router you will need to transfer that login information to the router (using it's web interface). Once that is done the router will auto login for you whenever you use the internet. You will no longer need to use the ISP supplied program or have the login information stored on your PC.


Good Luck :)

What Ghost hacker Explained is why cable is better than DSL. Cable is always on and DSL is still dial-up, broadband dial-up but dial-up none the less..

classicsoftware,Ghost_Hacker you answered question. sbic in network said it was disabled. Thanks both of you. my avg download speed is 160 to 200 kb/s most of the time. depending on the server.cable might be better but where i live it goes out to much for me.that's cable tv.so if that goes out then so will my putter.beside they want ten bucks more a month than i pay now. dls went out just once for 3 hours in a year and my cable goes out for hours and hours monthly.these crazy people keep digging and cutting the fiber optics lines.
so now i can take out sbic info. Thanks again
