SBC DSL..not PPPOE but dynamic IP?

Hi,

SBC yahoo DSL, Speedstream 5100, Dlink POS DI 614+. I recently flashed the firmware on the DLink in hopes of curing some wifi problems, doing so reverted to factory settings. Here's the odd thing - even though it is now set to Dynamic IP rather than PPPoE, it still works, even across powerdowns of both. Why is this? Is the speedstream caching the PPPoE info someplace?

It's working so I dont want to break it but I have a feeling sooner or later it may stop..

Thanks Thomas

That's one possibility, the other is that your router was not truly wiped clean by your procedure.

I guess a third, much more remote possibility is SBC is providing you connectivity even though you haven't logged in -- something I've never seen happen.
