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.

Your field experience don't necessarily apply here. That's always a difference between here and where you are from. Careful with your post? I don't think you were careful enough then. I'm working in the similar field, and I'm also trying to help him. Not condemning? You sure?

It's a culture thing. What's considered rude in some cultures may not be in others. Even if we're all online, we're still carrying our cultural baggage so I guess tolerance is good. It's a culture thing, live with it

(I should be offended that people make me go off-topic to say this, but I'm not. See, I'm tolerant )
