What are you using for web interface. We are using radius for our PPPoE. One of the problems we have noticed with PPPoE using MikroTik to pass the data to the radius server is some routers have a hard time connecting through it. Computers directly work fine, but some of the cheaper routers struggle as well as Apple Airports.

I'm switching to having the PPPoE backed by RADIUS, so my new management system will be a web interface where I can change anything relating to the customer from a central interface. There are no special steps in setting up any customer side equipment. My CPE also do NATing and LAN side DHCP. If it didn't, every router sold today has a setup process required for installation and have a PPPoE route. I am 100% against a broadband client's PC directly on the network. It should only be done during special circumstances, and the user would then be more than intelligent enough to configure PPPoE. ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David E.
