Hello all,
I've been having a problem with my DSL connection the past few days.
I'm In Canada and going through Bell Sympatico - Similiar to Bell south or any other DSL company.
I Can connect directly to the internet through the modem (Speedstream 5200) with no problems. Now, after calling bell, they are telling me to go into sys pref's, and make a location called "Broadband", and to create a PPPOE Service. This works, but then then I can't connect my router!! (D-Link WBR-2310).
I have tried to use the internet directly through the default settings in OS X: Mac - Modem, under the "Automatic" location, using DHCP, and the internet works fine.
When i do: Mac - Router - Modem, Using DHCP, the internet does NOT work, despite configuring the router accordingly.
When I use the "broadband" location with the PPPOE service, and do the following: Mac - Router - Modem, it still does not work.
Does anyone know the steps for setting up an internet connection using PPPOE through a router? I'm totally at the point of giving up.
To recap:
- I have configured the router to use PPPOE Settings
- I have confirmed that the internet connection is active by verifying with the modem via address 192.168.2.1
- I have created a separate location in Network settings in OS X Called "Broadband". I have created a service called PPPOE within the location with the correct login information. NOTE: When the PPPOE Service is being used, the "Ethernet" connection is still active and connected.
- When i try and throw the router into the mix, Everything doesn't work. The "Automatic" location and the "Broadband" location are useless.
Do the settings in Network Pref's really make a difference?
IF there is anything i missed, let me know....
Can anyone help me out?!
