I installed the Yahoo apps on one pc I have that was running WinXP, but couldn't register my account completely using the install app.
The SBC support team directed me to a website that then allowed me to complete the registration with their help. I learned from SBC that the install app uses a browser interface to frame these pages for the registration part of the installation.
Apparantly, they were having trouble with their servers the day I tried to register. So, I never used the Yahoo apps yet, but to the point below... they may usefull in troubleshooting when problems arise.
However, I sinced rebuilt that pc for my IDS system. So, I don't have the apps installed anymore.

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.

Maybe the old version, pre-yahoo integration, and in fact, I seem to
remember running the Enternet 300 software myself with no problem on an old
98 machine, but the new stuff isn't just the Enternet software, and makes
comprehensive system and registry changes, and the uninstall would just not
work in our case, so unless you have worked with their latest yahoo crap, I
would suggest you carefully approach your next installation from
them.......all is not as it seems ;-)

Now I know why my customers are willing to pay for my help on these issues.
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-----

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......

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. Sifry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

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