And if just doing DHCP...
thats just a little miss-leading, only the evil providers need PPPoE (curreses PacBell-ASI-SBC-WhatEverTheFuckTheyAreCallingThemSelfsThisWeek)
my DSL provider won't work with DHCP because they provide FOUR static IP's with there base price! in my case it was deciding what machigns got X.X.X.180 - 182 and wich machines use my AirPort Base Stations' DCHP router serving of 183 :P
setting up PPPoE would do nothing, it would probably actuly confuse my ISP :D
now on the other hand i've delt with 4 DSL connections from PacBell-ASI-SBC-WhatEverTheFuckTheyAreCallingThemSelfsThisWeek and they are ALL differnt!
the 1st one was installed about a week before they went PPPoE, it was a single static IP, and it just worked
the 2nd one i never had to do anything but but i have watched this person has been through hell and back!
the 3rd person is the same as the 1st except they had moved, and guess what? <soup nazi>No static IP for YOU!</soup nazi> and, hell and back (grrrrr)
the 4th person just got her DSL connection, and i was there from the start. it took 4 trys just to get an account! (then gave her the line, and sent her a modem and that was that as far as they were conserned) then she got a new iMac :drool: and we were able to get DSL to work fine under Mac OS 9 but, of cource, we went through hell and back just to get Mac OS X to work (stupid @sbcinternet.com wasn't in the user name and should hav been, dispite the fact that the other 2 don't have it - GRRRRRR)
then theres me, i plug in, and it works. :)
