I've installed dhcp, dhcpd, and rp-pppoe on my system, but have no clue what to do with them. Here's the info you asked for:
No need to install these the router supplies these.
Oh...so I can uninstall those things, correct?
Actually the rp-pppoe package is Roaring Penguin-PPP Over Ethernet and is mainly intended for DSL/CABLE connections.
Aha, gotcha. I was just trying anything I could think of, heh.
In your previous post you stated that you could not connect to the modem web interface, where you incorrect about that?
Yessir, I was wrong...I am able to connect to the modem interface, and it dials when I click on the 'connect' button. It's a 'connection error' message I receive after it's trying to connect to my ISP.
Since you keep getting a connection error you need to call your ISP for further help.
Starting to look that way, since, as you said, it's trying to connect but the connection is being refused outside the router at the ISP. Thanks Ken and everyone for helping me straighten things out and ease my confusion a good deal. This is still the best damn list there is and the best folk!
