yes... it works like charm ..

when i connect to the linksys(PPPOE).. it can surf..but no msn or logging into forums ...it wornt load at all

both ip of modem and linksys is 192.168.1.1..
would this be the problem? how to chg ip for both?
and wat about the my LAN setting?

If BT works, but MSN and web dont work, then I'm guessing that its something to do with DNS. U can try setting something on your Linksys for this, try checking under DHCP options and see if there's anything in there that allows u to specify what DNS servers r to be used for the DHCP clients. Cant provide u with mode details apart from that, as I dont have the same router as u, thus not knowing how the screens looks like

web surfing works..
but not like forum reply msg dun work... it wont respond..it will juz loading onli

the setting is BRIDGE modem and PPPOE linksys

Linksys should be set to DHCP (preferred) or 192.168.1.2 (-99).

You have no idea how crap some of the modems here can be. A power failure, all the settings in the modem will disappear and you have to reset everything. Yes, that's the modem that came with my ISP. So don't try to act smart here. I might make some mistakes sometimes, but you have no rights to condemn my information, especially when it's not wrong.

Well, I was extra respectfull with my post; so I don't see that is necessary for you to feel that I condemned your information. Also, I don't need to "act smart", since I have received formal training in this field, have six years of professional experience in this field, run a business in this field, and have completed well over a hundred DSL installs (and routers) in the past couple years. Pardon me if I know what I'm talking about, and I try to help someone.

Where you were wrong was setting the Linksys router to ROUTER mode, which would require you to choose a router protocol (RIP v1.0 or v2.0) and set up subneting over opposing networks, and that is not the correct setting for this environment. Gateway is the correct setting for bridge mode and this environment. I thought that I made this clear in my reply when I said "your (Linksys) router should be set to GATEWAY operating mode"; but you must not have seen the all caps I was attempting to point out.

Personally, I still think PPPoE should be handled on the modem side, since many routers have authentication issues. But that is just personal preference based more on field experience then anything.

Have you forwarded the ports ? checked to see if a firewall is not blocking the ports or the protocol ? worse comes to worst you can always use Trillian I guess.

You didn't change your LINKSYS router IP. CHANGE YOUR LINKSYS ROUTER IP TO 192.168.1.2. Your modem and router should not both have the same IP address. Then, once this is done, change your computer to DHCP.

Also, have you got the latest version of Live Messenger ? download and install it from http://www.msn.com/

If it was over here I'd be running packet traces and stuff.. then you can tell for sure what's happening to it. It just might be that the Sveasoft firmware is just buggy. Got the latest version though ? Sure looks like DHCP is on (from the screenshot.)
