Another symptom that your PPPoE connection is not ready when you try
to get OE (and IE) to use what is purported to be a complete LAN connection.
At that time both apps would see *only* a TCP loopback connection on the
"LAN". You need to get the PPPoE connection dialed and signed in,
(exactly the same way that a regular dial-up user would.)

Cross-posting this one too, so XP Networking readers will see both
of your symptoms.

Thanks Robert.

I don't quite understand your reference to "dial up". I'm on cable and
obviously not too familiar with the jargon..................

PPPoE is a very common protocol many ISPs require that both DSL and cable
subscribers use, in order to control the allocation of IP addresses and provide
usage accounting, just as is done for regular dial-up subscribers.

Have you tried any of the commands and diagnostics I suggested in your other
thread? (Subject: Conflicting notices: Offline/Online) Also cross-posted
by me to XP Networking.

For reference:

I think you still haven't grasped that just because you have a pipe (e.g. your cable
connection) it doesn't mean that you can usefully send anything through it until certain
levels of "handshaking" are done. That's what you need to check and tell us what
those are.

Also, BTW your ISP should be able to assist you and make sure that
your basic configuration is what it should be for your OS in order to meet
their requirements.


Good luck

High speed dial up: Method of requesting an Internet access with a
username / password. Once the username / password is "authenticated",
the service provider will assign an available IP address on the
Internet. Most likely for PPPoE and PPTP style high speed access.
