PPPoA is RFC2364. RFC1483/2684 can't be PPPoA but could be one of: - PPPoE (RFC2516) - bridged ethernet (using br2684 under linux. PPPoE is mostly one of the flavor of bridged ethernet, another solution could be dhcp wich does not need a login/password) - routed IP (using atmarp/atmarpd under linux), this does not need a login/password too. As you don't have a login/password, you probably don't use a solution based on PPP. You probably need to set one of bridged ethernet or routed IP. Look at your configuration under Windows to know wich one need to be used. Beware that dhcp could be used from Windows over routed IP but that under linux atmarp/atmarpd does not allow that. You would have to use a static IP and define by yourself gateway IP. Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
