[willietan86]

hi guys, i have followed the instructions given but no success in hooking up my router with the 2wire(bridge mode)

2Wire

1) i disabled the atm pvc search
2) set to direct ip
3) under mdc, i uncheck the use routing

D-Link DGL 4300

1) i hook it from wan port of 4300 to the Wan port of 2wire
2) my 4300 by default is a router mode already as it was previously used with a modem before i got the 2wire

On my 2Wire, all lights lighted up except 'Internet' LED. I log into my 4300 to manualy connect on PPPoE but it stay disconnected

:(

Try connect to the LAN port of 2wire instead.

hmm i dun understand why lan port instead? hmmm

anyway both my 2ire and 4300 has mac address filtering turned on..

it shouldnt affect in any way right since it's bridge mode and route mode?

hmmm by right and norm, it should be connected to WAN port of 2wire and 4300? am i right??

just that 2wire is an exception need to plug into its LAN port?
