No PPPoE connection with WL-500gx

[Hannes123]

Hello,

since yesterday I'm not longer abel to get an connection to the internet via my pppoe. When I use my old connection settings, I used before I bought the router, it works. I use the Oleg's software 1.9.2.7-5 but it also don't work with the older 1.9.2.7-4 and my original software I backuped before I installed the Oleg firmware. All other funktions (access to my DBox2 and streaming to my usb hd from my dbox2 or access the usb hd from xp is no problem) at the router works fine.

Here is the log from the router:

As I don't change anything yesterday I don't know how it comes that I now not abel to access the internet. Can anyone help me or has an idea?

Yours,
Hannes

p.s.:
The LED 'wan' is off. I don't now if this important.

[Oleg]

The LED 'wan' is off. I don't now if this important.
Yes, it's very important. Seems you've specified unsupported port speed, switch it back to auto. This is not firmware related.

[Hannes123]

Under IP config - WAN conection speed I have selected "auto negotiation". But the LED is still off.

Cu,
Hannes

[Oleg]

check your modem and cabling. it should be on.

[Hannes123]

I'm sorry but the LED "WAN" don't flash. When I use my old connection the cabel modem is in "LAN3" and I can connect the internet via router.

Can it be that there is something damaged at the router?

Cu,
Hannes

[Oleg]

Finally: which port is used by modem?

[Hannes123]

I put the connector (plug?) from the cabel modem at the back of the router in to the conection for "LAN3". "LAN4" is used for the pc and "LAN2" for my dbox2.

[Oleg]

Guy, have you ever tried reading user manual? It should be connected to WAN port.
I'm wonder why you bombed forum with this nonsense.

[Hannes123]

Oh, I'm sorry. I found my mistake. The cabel was wrong conected (in the lan port and not wan port). But I don't know when I should do this. :confused: Sorry. But a lot of thanks for your patience and help.

Cu,
Hannes
