Forgive my ingnorance , but whats wrong with pppoe ?
IMHO when it works it isn't an issue. Really when it works it's no different then DHCP. Well it doesn't give you some of the nice things that DHCP can. Like setting up DNS numbers for you but when it works it's fine. The problem with my ISP is that the connection drops every so often. It isn't bad for me in that the connection drops about once every 3-5weeks but still it's a nuisance. In addition every time the connection drops you get a new IP when you reconnect. DHCP would give out the same number if you reconnected with the lease period.
o wont DHCP take care of that , just the way it does with dial up netowrking over the telco , same thing just diffrent adapter.
Cant you just use linux to ip masq the network on to one ip ?
Yup masq works fine.
