I wired up a frathouse with ethernet(28ports), and setup a server to share a dsl connection. At the time, they had a bridged dsl connection. This worked great.
However, for complicated reasons, the dsl connection was cancelled by accident, and when they reconnected, they were switched to a PPPoE connection, aka dialup ethernet.
What I need to know is what works best with PPPoE. Should I stick to a pc-based server, or are those Linksys, SMC, etc. routers any good? And if so, which one is the best? Firewall is not a big concern, in fact is not wanted, because all they do with it is play net games.
Thanks
