While this used to be true it isn't any longer. The D-Link DSL 300's that iiNet are sending out have the connection software for PPPoE built into them. Simply plugging them in should "just work". The modem can run in the mode where it needs PPoE software to be running on the machine it's hooked up to, or in the mode for a straight Ethernet connection as well. Talented little modem. Unfortunately it creates one of three states the modem can run in which without looking into the modem the iiDrone has no idea which mode the modem is in. > It is possible, but without looking into the DSL 300 further I cannot > tell, that it is in fact running the PPPoE software. If it's the default from iiNet it should be running the PPPoE software in the modem. As I've said above thought there are two other configurations the modem could be set to.
