That's precisely the point about Metro Ethernet. There is no ISP supplied equipment whatsoever. A LAN cable comes in from the window in your house which you simply connect to the LAN port - just like a telephone landline. (They must be having some common switch etc for a no of users in a given area and keeping it somewhere. User doesn't even has to know that.) > the router configured the same way u have configured ur PC. Even on u > r PC u cannot configure the ACNAME thing through the regular network > options. I don't know what you mean by that. There is ACNAME field in network configuration tool (system-config-network in my case) or in the network configuration scripts under /etc. I have to put the ACNAME found using pppoe-discovery there for connection to work.
