Re: Strange Setup, Buffalo WGH-125 tomato / 2wire 2701
It should work, as long as the 2wire modem allows its pppoe bridge interface to use the wireless option, as well as LAN.
Easy way to test it with a laptop.
Disable the DHCP/Routing settings on the 2Wire modem, but leave wireless on. Connect to the 2Wire modem via WiFi, and you will not get an IP address.
Create a PPPoE session in software on the laptop, whether in XP/Vista, or other software. If the PPPoE connection succeeds, then your proposed setup should work.

I've tried it with the wireless with no success.
I've tried it with a cable plugged into the router with no success.
I might be doing something wrong, when I create my pppoe connection, I cannot choose which ethernet card I want to use. BTW is there a better pppoe client than the one that comes with windows xp ?
I've checked the configuration of the tomato firmware and when it is set to wireless bridge, the router cannot be used as a pppoe client.
For anyone who reads this, it's not a possible thing to do ! |
