Hi,

I need to setup a DHCP/Bridged Ethernet connection on my ADSL modem.
I know the correct VPI/VCI value to be used for this but I'm not sure
if LLCSNAP or VCMux should be used as encapsulation.
I have configured my modem using both encapsulation methods just to be
sure, however I cannot get an IP address in either configuration
(LLCSNAP or VCMux).

Are there other compatibility issues or configurations that I need to
check with my ISP/DSL provider?

Also, my modem supports RFC-2684 Bridged Ethernet. Will it be an issue
if the provider uses RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet?


Thanks,
Ennui

Just use the default values and RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet. Smith Falls may
become an oasis in the desert.

Hi,

The default values don't work. I did not get the modem from DSL/ISP
provider.

Can it be that the "bridged ethernet" implementation of my modem is
not compatible with the provider's implementation?

Thanks,
ennui

When in doubt flash the modem with United States firmware. Then do a factory
reset to shake all the crud out of it's memory.

I think bellsouth is still giving away free modems. Phone them and get one it
probably will work. I think they set them to bridge mode.
