Set Linksys to router mode, because router is obviously designed to be a router. You should leave the Hyundai to brigde mode, and make all the settings on the Linksys.

With all due respect Chai, this is bad information.

You should have the (Hyundai) modem set to control PPPoE authentication, and your (Linksys) router should be set to GATEWAY operating mode.

Your modem may have a mode named "PPP on the modem"; this is the mode you should use on your modem for dynamic DSL service. If you have static IP DSL service (not standard/common) then you would use Bridged Mode (PPPoE is not used). If your modem does not have a place for your PPPoE user name and password, then you must select "PPP is on the computer" and set that information on the Linksys router.

Your router's Internet Connection Type will need to be set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP", but only if you have the modem in "PPP on the modem" mode. If your modem does not have PPPoE authentication on it (a place for your user name and password), then you would have set the modem to "PPP is on the computer" mode and set your Linksys' Internet Connection Type to PPPoE.

You generally don't need to do anything for bridges because they're just passthrough devices. But on the router (the linksys) you may need to forward the ports mentioned on the webpage. Actually you generally do not need to forward ports because IM's usually connect out, and then the reply comes back through the same port. You only really need to forward if something is attempting to establish a connection to a local server from outside. MSN doesn't generally do that I think.

Check to see if you have any sort of firewall running. That's more of a possibility I think than any other. Also possible is port filtering by the ISP. If the ISP's chosen to dump connections based on some rule that affects MSN, then you'll have to talk to them.

I replied to your PM. Feel free to give me a call.

PS. You want to do port forwarding on your Linksys router, if it is necessary.

With all due respect here, there's nothing wrong with my recommendation, and it will still work, and I've always prefered PPPoE username to be set in a router instead of in a modem. 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.

Just to elliminate all the other possibilities, have you tried connect directly to the modem without the router, and use the Windows dialer to connect?

On an unrelated manner, crappy modems from the ISP did allow me to enjoy about a year of 8mb connection before. Looked like the cap didnt manage to work with that modem initially.
