With XP/ME could you use the MS "roll-back" feature to roll-back the system changes made to a point before the Yahoo apps installed? Once you sign up with their app and get your username/password you could undo everything and then use your broadband router, etc.

You can load the Enternet software with no bad effects. I have it loaded on win xp win 2k pro 98 me etc... This is not a problem. It can even be helpful to have it installed if you need to trouble shoot with SBC support. Loading their software wont do anything bad to your computer. What a load of smelly Cod's heads... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 9:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [BAWUG] SBC DSL and Wireless Only problem with that is for a NEW SBC customer. My brother just signed up, and they mail you all your equipment and REQUIRE you to load their CD on your system and connect directly to complete your installation. The only way around this is to sign up on line, so you can pick your user name and password before they activate your account. This is very important, as loading their softwrae will DESTROY your ability to do anything with that computer ever again......if you must load it, I suggest getting an old pentium pc and loading the crap on that, so you won't care when it destroys your system. Once you have your user name and password setup, then follow the first posts instructions. Make CERTAIN that you DISABLE the remote administration on any Linksys router as there are multiple vulnerabilities in it. Other than that, I have helped several others set up this way, and am running this way myself, very happily, for over two years. Very seldom necessary to reboot unless you are running something pre-win2k...... -----Original Message----- From: Chris McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:23 AM To: David L. Sifry; r jain Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [BAWUG] SBC DSL and Wireless The Linksys BEFW11S4 router can also establish the PPPoE connection so you don't have install any of the applications supplied by Yahoo! SBC DSL on you computer. At the bottom of the Setup tab page in your Linksys router, select the PPPoE login method with your SBC login name/password and the Keep Alive option. Then go to the Status tab page and press the Connect button. The router will then display a message indicating that you are connected. Everything should work fine after waiting about 30 seconds for your computer and router to re-synch with this new PPPoE connection. Sometimes I do have to reboot my laptop and WSB11 Linksys Wireless Bridge after I re-connect my router to my SBC connection. But once I connect, I leave my router on with the connection alive and only reboot my router about once a week. Works with WEP and MAC filtering, too. -chris "David L.

You configure PPPoE on the WPC-11. They run about $90 on Amazon and there's a $10 rebate - $80 is a sweet deal.
