Hi guys,
I need your help. My router is Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT v24-sp1 micro firmware. The problem is that I cannot connect to my DLS account using PPPoE protocol. When I press the button "Connect"
nothing happens and then massage appears: "Connection type: Disabled". When I configure WAN to be a DHCP client I can pull IP from other router no problem. So the WAN port is physically operational. Other router's components ie. wireless and DHCP server work fine. Before and after flash I did 30/30/30 reboot, I even cleared NVRAM using Telnet - still no luck. I have left router plugged to DSL modem for 9 hours in case the other side cached old router's MAC address - stiil nothing. Thaks in advance for any suggestions...
It sounds like the modem is initializing the pppoe session and just passing a local ip to your router. If this is the case you need to set the modem to pppoe pasthrough before setting the router to create a pppoe session.
