So you have it working perfectly you just need to give the other computer access to the folder you want. So on the old computer right click a folder and choose sharing and security.

Bob Carrick

There are so many possible factors for why you are losing connection. If the Access Point and the adapeter are not moving why would you not just wire the two together with Ethernet?

Bob Carrick

Both systems can surf at the same time etc, correct? You just can not play the game at the same time? Any error messages? Specific behaviours?

Bob Carrick

Is your PC set to obtain an IP automatically? As well as DNS?

Bob Carrick

Really any PCI Ethernet Interface card is all you need.

Bob Carrick

PPPoE? It could be your PC looking for DHCP when it shouldn't be. http://www.carricksolutions.com/windowspppoe.php#11 That could fix it, but it could be something else as well.

Bob Carrick

Disconnect and reconnect.

Bob Carrick

Your modem and line working does not mean your connection is. Is your DSL even ready through your ISP? Ie: your userid and password confirmed through the help desk etc?

Bob Carrick

Well those are not instructions you posted those say follow the creators instructions and that has not helped this poster.

Try these: http://www.carricksolutions.com/raspppoe.php#1

Bob Carrick

Only one and that would be the increase in MTU but that really is no reason to switch as you probably would not notice anything.

Why use third party software when you don't have to? Well unless that native item sucks and with XP PPPoE that is not the case. Microsoft actually did something well this ...

Bob Carrick

Depends on what you are using for an INternet connection.

Are you on a PPPoE based connection? IE: Do you have a user name and password for when you need to go online?

If you are not on PPPoE then your MTU should not be changed at all.

Bob Carrick

It never goes away, just run through the set up again.

Bob Carrick

Yes sludge is using WinPoet, not dial-up there is no native PPPoE in Windows 98 you must use 3rd party software, or get a router.

Bob Carrick

You are on a PPPoE based connection so your MTU should be 1492 and never 1500.

Bob Carrick

PPPoE has nothing to do with only DSL.

Rogers does not happen to be PPPoE, but could easily be if they wanted it to be. There are 4 Cable PPPoE testbeds in the USA, possibly 8 as we speak.

Many Wireless ISPs in the USA use PPPoE. Hum, they are not DSL.

PPPoE is an authentication method, not ...

Bob Carrick

Upping your MTU to 1492 from 1480 will give you really less then a 1% speed increae if you get any. I'd not worry about the MTU at all.

Bob Carrick

Over XP native PPPoE there is only one Pro and that is that you can up your MTU to 1492, the con is it now becomes third party software not running natively in XP.

There is really no reason why you would need to or really want to switch.

Bob Carrick

I'm being told that there will be no end user support and updates for nexland products.

Bob Carrick

Yes it is true. Your line may not qualify for the increased speed though, and if you have a Nortel modem you will not get the speed increase.

Bob Carrick

Or maybe wait a little to give people a chance http://www.carricksolutions.com/windowsxp.php#2

Bob Carrick

Your message does not sound abnormal and I do not know why you think it's an issue.

Bob Carrick

What do you mean re-installs? You get promopted to re-install the software? What makes oyu think it re-installs? Just booting takes a lot longer? Then do this:

Bob Carrick

Or even better link to a real PPPoE FAQ http://www.carricksolutions.com/pppoe.php and click on the hardware page which has instructions for upping multiple routers MTUs.

Bob Carrick

Adjust MTU http://www.carricksolutions.com/enternet.php#27
Fix Hang time http://www.carricksolutions.com/pppoe.php#15

Bob Carrick

No, it just means your not PPPoE. Does not mean you are PPPoA. Could be simple Bridged Ethernet which is even more common then PPPoA but not as common as PPPoE anymore.

Bob Carrick

Yes PPPoE if you have a userid and password, that simple.

Bob Carrick

Looks just fine.

Bob Carrick

Some sources say the 4th of July others say now, still not made "public" by Bell officials, so who knows.

Bob Carrick

Actually it's even higher then that, you got upgraded from 1200 bps to 1724 as your official synch speed. All for free. And rumor has it that as of the 4th of July there will no longer be caps.

Bob Carrick

For the 3 meg you RWIN should be 76320

Bob Carrick

Yes, and I've tweaked thousands of Sympatico DSL connections where as you've never even used it, and I live on it. Thanks though.

Bob Carrick

That suggested recieve window is too large for a 1.2 meg DSL connection, should be 24038

Bob Carrick

PPPoE is used in about 90% of residential DSL in North America.

Bob Carrick

You must set it where ever your PPPoE is being done, wether it be by software or by router. See the PPPoE website in my signature for all instructions needed for your specific set up.

Bob Carrick

Sounds like you are on regular DSL and not Ultra.

Bob Carrick

By default they should be stealth, I'd recommend upgrading your firmware.

Bob Carrick

Generally you need to set up using their software get your userid and password then remove it all and set up your router for pppoe.

Bob Carrick

Since you went back to XP just use the native PPPoE. It's built right in and IMO better.

Bob Carrick

If you are on PPPoE there is no way to avoid it. Get a router with built in PPPoE support, or a modem even, or different PPPoE software if you like.

Bob Carrick

DSL can handle 7 mbps on regular copper phone lines so I don't know what the heck your talking about but it can handle plenty of speed.
