Linksys WRT54GL with PPPoE trouble

[navacioiu_liviu]

I have a PPPoE connection for my PC. I have a laptop too, so I bought a Linksys WRT54GL router. I had to make a PPPoE connection for the router to be able to connect the PC using a cable and the laptop on wireless.
My first problem was to increase the TTL. I installed the tomato firmware and disabled the decreasing of TTL. I made the PPPoE connection, it connects but when a ping from inside the router any link...., no response.
The router get's the correct IP, mask, gateway, etc from the ISP but still no connectivity..., and if the router is not able to see the internet, the DHCP function is zero...

Any ideeas why? Does anybody has this king of connections?
I have seen some forums but nothing clear. I didn't uderstand some powering instructions (unplug the router, shut down the PC...,etc etc)
If someone has a tutorial for this, it will be much apreciated.

Thanks,
Liviu

What "modem" is it connecting to? Is it really a combo modem/router? Or just a pure bridged modem?

It should be a modem, but not here... The provider placed into my home just 1 internet plug. I don't know if a modem exists, or where it's placed. But after all, why is this modem so important. I have this cable from the plug to my computer and I should be able to put it into the router's WAN port and then connect the PC's to the rest of the ports. The provider also request me to execuute a file. It has 2 comands:
-route delete 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0
-route -p add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.24.0.1
They say it's for p2p apps.

These are my IP settings when the router is out form network:

PPP adapter eRegie:

As you see, the PPPoE connection gets a 10.24.4 IP and the ethernet connection gets a 10.24.3. and diferent gateways and DNS servers.

When the router is connected I get these IP setings into the router's firmware interface:

WAN:

MAC Address: 00-1C-10-51-FA-3E
Connection type: PPPoE
IP Address: 10.24.4.149
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.255
Gateway: 10.24.4.1
DNS: 141.85.0.97, 141.85.0.124
MTU: 1492
Status: Connected

LAN:

Router MAC Address: 00-1C-10-51-FA-3D
Router IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP: 192.168.1.100-149

Hope this info will hepl you to see my problem.

Because with broadband...you NEED a modem...which "bridges" the connection. DSL modem converts the signal from RJ-11 phone line to ethernet, and a cable modem converts the signal from coax to ethernet.

Second reason knowing what the modem is being important...many DSL modems that the ISP provides you with these days are combo modem/routers...a gateway appliance. If that's the case..they usually already perform the NAT function and PPPoE authentications..they themselves are to be treated as a router. In those cases..you don't add another router behind them unless you reconfigure them to run in pure bridged mode..thus allowing you to run the PPPoE and NAT on your own router.

salut... am si eu un router din asta... stau in P26 si nu am reusit sa-l fac sa se conecteze... daca ai reusit poate imi spui si mie cum ai reusit! id de mess dany_legolas10
