I have a PPPoE and lan in the same cable and while the wan cable is connected to the PC it works as follows:
Windows first uses DHCP and get's a network IP address like 192.168.... and all network resources become available. Then there is a pppoe connection with authentication, after that I get access to the internet (and another IP, like 82.147...., the external one), so I can access both the lan and the internet.
Is it possible to configure wl500gx that way? Because for now I had none working, I am thinking, that it get's confised because of 2 IP addresses and this is because it is not working.
What do you think?

so your adsl modem is connected to your internal network?
at least it should be connected to WAN port in order to get it working, manual should help you getting started
No, I don't have an ADSL modem. It's an optical fiber network and the modem, which converts OF to ethernet is in the cellar of the house and I don't have access to it, but I have the ethernet cable and connect it directly to the PC and all goes, as I have described, so first the lan and then the external internet both through 1 ethernet cable.

can you make a drawing of this?
visio / paint would be fine :)
Ok, here is my art :)

WL=wl500gx
H=my house
OH=other house
OF=optical fiber line
So there is an optical fiber to the ISP and a lot of houses are connected to them, so it's like a lan and it's DHCP driven, but to access the external internet I would need to pass the ISP as a gateway and it uses PPPoE, so I now have 2 connections. 1 to lan at 100mbit and the other to www at 1 mbit, so 2 connections are flashing in windows now.
In the router I use pppoe, since the external www is a priority. But not to mentions, that it works poorly, I don't have access to lan.
Maybe I should setup the router to use DHCP...it will enter lan, then login to the console and start pppoe. How can I do that? And more importantly..will it work?
I have just tried using eth0 in suse to use DHCP and it worked great, so I got an IP address and the internal resources were available, but when I started a pppoe session with the server all internet just crashed. I couldn;t access nor lan nor the external www. Can linux handle more then one IP address per interface? If windows can, then linux also should. Has anyone tried to configure this?

how are IP's exactly assigned?
It's not totally clear to me, but it seems that you use the Fiber line as 'LAN'
and you also use PPPoE over the fiberline to connect to WWW or something?
I think you could fix it as follow
connect a switch to your fiber line, connect 1 cable to WAN port of wl500g and 1 to LAN port of wl500g
let the WAN port connect via PPPoE
and then assign eventual per PC a second address for the LAN network of the fiberline
Yes, that is possible, but this will make me use an extra IP address, which is not free. One person suggested me to use aliases such as eth0:1 for pppoe and eth0:0 for lan, it's a linux solution, is it possible to achive on wl500gx?
