Magic Report post Posted January 27, 2003 SBC Pacific Bell ADSL over PPPoE 1500/128 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave Report post Posted January 27, 2003 I've got Comcast cable modem, it's about 2000/128. When you have PPPoE can you hook up a normal firewall/router box? It runs some software on your PC, right? I've never actually seen a setup with PPPoE so I'm curious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your upload speed : 211640 bps, or 211 kbps. Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never actually seen a setup with PPPoE so I'm curious. Yes, my main box is hooked up via a modem and it has to dial up to the service. But my two other secondary machines are connected to a router and has an "always on" connection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ax Slinger Report post Posted January 28, 2003 I also have SBC 1500/128 ADSL using PPPoE. According to the docs that came with it, I have an Efficent Networks model 5260 LAN Modem. But every time I call SBC support they call it an Ethernet Bridge. I don't quite understand that, but supposedly this modem, with a chip that it doesn't have because PacBell doesn't require it, could be converted into a router. So maybe that's why the call it an Ethernet Bridge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shogan191 Report post Posted January 28, 2003 With dial up, you can use your computer while you do other things. Like cook. Vaccuum and stuff. With cable other activities kind of stop. No time to polish shoes or anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilbill08 Report post Posted January 28, 2003 when you test you're connection it says usually 1600 kbps does that mean kilo bytes or bits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyer0946 Report post Posted January 29, 2003 http://www.dslreports.com/front/drtcp.html Set the TCP Receive Window to 64240 Set the Path MTU Discovery to Yes Select your network card in the drop-down list and then set the MTU to 1500 Click the Apply button and then the Exit button. You must reboot for these changes to take effect!! After rebooting, re-run DrTCP on the machine, re-select your appropriate network card from the drop-down list and verify that all the settings were retained. this may help the speed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coops8427432 Report post Posted January 29, 2003 Network card?? Thats a bit of a grey subject for me i have an external usb modem its an alcatel speed touch adsl modem.
