Erich Titl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> then asked > Can't you use pppoe/a ? The modem uses pppoa to connect to Qwest, as per Qwest's configuration instructions. Do you mean that I'd use pppoa on the LEAF box to connect through the modem (in dumb bridge mode)? I've tried turning on bridging (an alternative to pppoa in the configuration screen) and then asking LEAF to connect via dhcp. This doesn't work. But I have not tried setting LEAF up to connect using pppoa. It's worth a try, to be sure. I'll post a note if it works -- though it'll be 10 days before I have a chance to try.
