PPPoE

Has WinMe PPPoE already installed ?
It should be a driver for the Ethernet line ... I 'd like to install a dsl
ethernet line .
Thanks a lot.

Plug and play is the order of business - it just works!

Noel,

AFAIK Win Me does not include PPOE adapter software. This is often
supplied by the ISP concerned alternatively some users use WinPOEt.

ARRGH!!
You are probably right - I was thinking PPPoA.

I've found the PPPoE at http://www.raspppoe.com and
the instructions at http://www.raspppoe.com/README9X.HTM .
Could arise some problems this installation ? and if I take a restore
check point before it ....restoring the system everything would be OK ?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

I can't comment about any possible problems you might encounter installing
raspppoe as I have only ever used PPPOA (Point to Point Protocol Over ATM)
rather than PPPOE. As for system restore, yes, I would certainly ensure
that a checkpoint is created before making any changes such as installing
raspppoe as restoring to that checkpoint should enable you to undo any
problems generated as a result of a problematic install.

Many thanks .
May I ask your opinion about this note ? Is really asking to remove TCP ( or
I get this because of my bad English ....) ?
Regards.

IMPORTANT: Locate and select the TCP/IP-Adapter Name entry for the network
adapter connected to your broadband modem. If this network adapter is
dedicated to your broadband modem, simply click the Remove button. If you
also want to access other local machines through the same network adapter,
click the Configure button and assign a fixed IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1
with subnet mask 255.255.255.0). If you do not take either of these steps,
you will experience periodic pauses while using this protocol, because
Windows will periodically halt the network adapter and try to acquire for an
IP address for it, which also makes the machine take significantly longer to
boot up.

Lando,

There's nothing wrong with your English or understanding of the note you
posted. I can think of no reason why the TCP protocol should be removed
from your network adapter since the internet works using TCP/IP. However,
as I have already mentioned, I have never used a connection requiring
PPPOE so am not qualified to comment. May I suggest that you post your
query to the windowsme.networking newsgroup where hopefully Steve Winograd
MVP will see your post.

No, but XP does. The best solution out there is PasPPoe.
