No, if that were the case the service would not have worked as well as it did for as long as it did. This is the same cabling in use as when I got the modem and the cabling so far as I know hasn't been abused either. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscr

No, Verizon wants customers even if they can use dhcp to only use pppoe. This had been made clear to me by them on another occassion but at that earlier time they didn't disable the connection. The only reason for pppoe is so verizon can force logins to happen. There's been some interesting d

I lost the credentials info for the modem and one time last year when dhcp had been working for a couple days I had no internet connection at all. Apparently verizon detected me using dhcp and broke my connection down. The only way I can get out is by using pppoe. Other people in this area hav

I think what may be happening over here is the network gets set up during boot up here including firewall and pppoe and then udev takes the whole connection down. In order to get out to the internet I've got to run dhcpcd eth0 and pon dsl-provider once I sudo into root account. I originally c
