If it's a modem+router combo, do you need to worry about PPPoE at all |
| 14 |
on your computer anymore? I think typically the router would take care |
| 15 |
of that for you, and all your PC does is get a DHCP address (NAT) from |
| 16 |
the router and is done with it, at least that's how all the ones I've |
| 17 |
seen behave (unless you've intentially disabled the router part and |
| 18 |
are using your PC as the router or are going routerless). Just |
| 19 |
throwing it out there. :) |
