[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1295140, member: 24098"] Is that a particularly old modem? Most modern DSL modems that use PPPoE handle the authentication within the modem itself. In fact, I haven't seen the need for PPPoE authentication on the client in 10 years or more. Typically this is done by signing into your modem's configuration web page. Typically you'll connect via Ethernet to the modem, then find your default gateway (often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) and type that into the browser address bar. This process should be detailed by your ISP in their setup instructions, or by calling their help desk. Chances are the client software is failing because it's conflicting with the modem's own PPPoE authentication mechanism. [/QUOTE]
