Or they just don't want to buy more. Wouldn't that cause more issues is the long run. You're effectively double NATing everyone.

Why do you need PPPoE on the modem to SSH into your Linux box? Isn't PPPoE usually used to establish the WAN connection from home to the ISP? If you're just plain 'ol DHCP on the WAN interface now, can't you just forward port 22 to the Linux machine? On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 9:58 AM, John Aldrich < [email protected]> wrote: Not sure...

J From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 8:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Internet issues (RANT) Ok...some of y'all may recall I ordered an upgrade to my DSL last week. Well, Monday morning, everything was working fine, but yesterday after I got to work, I was unable to SSH to my linux box at home and when I got home, my DSL wasn't working. So I called tech support and they were no help. Finally they sent out a technician yesterday and upgraded my modem (thinking that was the issue since my speed had doubled, maybe the modem couldn't handle the upgrade.) I got home, and the modem was connected, but I still couldn't get online, even with the brand new router I bought yesterday. So I called up Windstream (my ISP) tech support again and went over the router configs with them. That's when I discovered they stopped using PPPOE on the modems. Wondering how long this has been going on and why they didn't tell me! *sigh* Now I've got to figure out a way to connect back to my LAN at home...strictly for testing purposes, of course.
