This posting has given me a greater appreciation for DOCSIS modems.  Thank you cable.

This *does* sound like an attempt to make a square peg fit into a round hole. ?
Why not get the proper hardware?  Or am I misunderstanding.

Not entirely, but close: the OP thinks he has a circle while it is clearly a square. So a better understanding would suffice

Hi Eddiez,

thanks for you immediate response! So, I do not setup the the router with PPPoE (I understand), only with static or dynamic IP. But if i do this than I loose the username and pw option in the router. But my ISP requires a username and pw. And in the bridge mode I loose them as well!

The router functionality I can loose on my router is the DCHP function, which is also recommend in the BeThere PDF.

I guess, what I am trying to figure out is, why does the BeThere config does not work for my ISP?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Guys,

I still need some help here. Anybody, who can help? Maybe, the technical support guys from Dlink?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Cheers,
Wulle

Wulle, which provider do you have and what's the modem?

wulle, the DIR-655 cannot authenticate PPPoA, but the DSL-320B can. That's why PPPoA VC-Mux is not available in the DIR-655 settings. You must supply the ISP PPPoA username and password to the DSL-320B.

If the DSL-320B connects successfully connection type PPPoA VC-Mux, then I'm guessing that's the correct connection type!

I would remove the DIR-655 from the picture to start with, and concentrate on making one computer work with the DSL-320B. Once you have that working, you can to add the DIR-655. But make sure it is the modem doing the authentication, not your computer.

Unfortunately I have PPPoE here so I can't give you the exact steps...

I am using the built-in ISP profile for Nildram Internet on my DSL-320B modem; it connects successfully with a connection type: PPPoA VC-Mux; and yet that connection type is NOT AVAILABLE from within the DIR-655 router Manual Internet Settings. In the BeThere PDF is states to use the LLC PPPoA?! Which one do I have to use LLC or VC?

Hi,

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I have this same problem. I can authenticate the Modem (DSL-320b) and use the internet fine with just the modem.

Can somebody please tell me the settings that i would need to put into my DIR-655 to use it with the DSL-320b?

I've tried quite a few times but had no luck and also got the help of my (network savvy) friend who also had trouble.

Do i need to set it up in Bridged mode? or PPPoE? or something else?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
