We have two XP machines and one Redhat 7.2 with RP-PPPOE. They are all connected to a Linksys etherfast Cable/DSL Router. Than that router is connected to the Alcatel DSL modem. We can't get all three machines to be on line at the same time. We can ping all machines, so we know they are on the network.

What settings should we be looking for in XP?

with that router you dont need to mess with pppoe on the computers, the router handles it all. just set them all to dhcp then report back here.

how do you shoot the devil in the back? what happens if you miss? -verbal

Thanks for the reply but I am confused. Under Network connections(on XP machines) I have two seperate connections, one for the network card and one for the ISP connection. The ISP connection uses PPOE, the NIC uses DHCP. Are you saying to delete the PPOE from my ISP connection and rely on the DHCP of the NIC? or were you just referring to the LINUX machine? I am still learning with the LINUX box, so if you can offer some guidance where that is concerned I'd appreciate it.

Yeah, delete the PPPoE connections on your XP computers, because they aren't needed. Just make sure the network cards on those other three computers are set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server automatically" under <font color=red>Local Area Connection > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties</font color=red>.

Once the Linux box is connected with PPPoE, all your computers should be connected as well (thru the router).

P.S. Sorry for hoppin' on... :eek:

Its working! Thanks. We let the router establish the internet connection. In doing so, we all appear to have the same ip address. How is this going to effect things if we want to set one computer up to host a website? ...I can't telnet to the linux machine since we all have the same ip.

I'm gonna have to step back on that one. :lol: I sure hope CALV or higgs can answer this, cuz I'm not familiar too much still with networking and ports and stuff. At least you got that much working. Nice... :smile:

I'll see how it goes later, hoping that someone else replies.

Later,
Bryan

can you set up the router as a dhcp server ?? my dlink di-704 does this and so assigns unique ip's to both of my networked systems I simply changed the nics in each to obtain the dhcp addy from the router automatically
