Laurie, Don't give up. I bought one of those MacSense XRouter Pro a couple of years ago and I'm still using it. I am on cable and I don't use PPOE, but i know it should be able to work for you. There have been some firmware upgrades available since then which might make it more compatible with your PPOE service. I haven't applied them, as my router works fine, and has been for years now.
Basically, you plug your modem into the UPLINK or WAN port on the Router, and your mac on any other port (there's 4 LAN ports on mine). Then configure your mac to use ip: 192.168.1.2 router: 192.168.1.1 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 and point your webbrowser to 192.168.1.1 login with default password (in manual) and set it up. :) mx On Saturday, March 8, 2003, at 12:30 PM, (Mac Network) wrote: > > > Message-id: > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, 07 Mar 2003 16:40:34 -0600 > Subject: Printing from Web > From: "Laurie Yalem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Hi All, > I have been reading lots of posts on the list and thought you all > might be > able to help me.
