Hi, Marcel. Chris is correct about Telus using MAC addresses; Telus HSIA does not use PPPoE. Telus ADSL is "always on". :-)
I installed the Telus "BroadJump" software on a Windows 2000 PC that was plugged directly into the ADSL modem. Since then, I added a 4 port LinkSys router and another machine into the fray. I configured the router to clone the MAC address of the network card in the original Windows 2000 PC. I did not have to install the BroadJump software onto the second PC. Every machine I've plugged into the router has been able to surf the Internet without incident.

If he's got to "connect" to the internet to use it (as opposed to "always on"), that's likely the case. In which case there's likely a PPPoE tool you can use. Never used Knoppix via PPPoE so I don't know off hand. Anyway hope that helps. Marcel On Sun, 2002-12-29 at 18:25, Dave Bourassa wrote: > Hi Chris, > > Thanx 4 the reply and the info.
