not sure about your neck of the woods, but in mine, my DSL is plain ethernet. I have a Cisco 678 modem in bridged mode(no PPPoE, no authentication or any of that other crap), with an ethernet line that goes to my switch. Then I have 4 static ips(no DHCP). so my DSL connection is just like an ethernet connection as far as my computers go, only it comes with a default route :) its wonderful. Even with PPPoE or whatever you should not have to worry about anything DSL related provided the modem handles everything, and of course you should have a static IP address. But if the modem handles any/all authentication and routing .....theres nothing to test IMO. Your likely to have more problems with the DSL line going down then anything else. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
