anyone done a setup with this?
= scenario 1 = linksys to the dsl modem with the modem doing the ppoe auth. modem gets an IP from dsl linksys gets an IP from modem pc gets an IP linksys can not get from the pc to the Internet
= scenario 2 = linksys to the dsl modem with the modem being a bridge linksys doing the ppoe auth. linksys ppoe auth works and linksys gets an IP from dsl pc gets an IP linksys browse most sites ok but seems to be slow to connect seems to be lower bandwidth some sites (hotmail/ebay) timeout same sites work if accessed as in scenario 1

Right. Double NAT doesn't usually work.

That's how you're supposed to do it.

PPPoE. Lousy system. SBC DSL - what did you expect?

Huh? I thought you couldn't get from the PC to the Internet in "Scenario 1".

Why wouldn't it? I'm doing this here at home simply because I haven't bothered to turn NAT off on my access point (which is behind my main firewall). Double-NATted connectivity works fine, including NAT-unfriendly stuff like PPTP and IPSec.

In each scenario, what addresses get assigned to each link, and what MTU is in use on each link? Does scenario 2 work if you set your PC's MTU to match the PPPoE link (probably 1480)?
