Q: Heres my question:
From an ISPs view, what is the advantage of dynamic IP addresses for DSL customers?
The point of DSL (except speed) is always on and unless I restart my computer, my machine is always connected. Although EarthLink has a dynamic IP addresses to me when my DSL modem connection, I actually always using an IP address from them. What is the difference from their perspective if changes periodically and is always the same?

Q: I just SBC Yahoo! DSL service, it uses the PPPoE protocol. I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop. The DSL modem is connected to the Netgear FS605 (http://www.netgear.com/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=130).
The problem I have is that I can not get both computers connect to the service at the same time. Ive read some posts and many people say they simply router the user ID and password and the router provides PPPoE for telling them. That sounds good, but I have no idea how

Q: original problem: I bought that WebRamp 700S hardware firewall, and have it connected to the DSL modem to the WAN side, connected to my PC on the LAN side. I get in the browser setup for the WR, and set it for PPPoE, making it the login / PSWD to my ISP. The log is OK, pull an IP for itself, finds the DNS servers, and suggests that the LAN side with DHCP enabled. But I can not seem to browse the Net. I have my LAN connection to obtain IP and DSN automatically. In the past, when my Netgear RT3

Anyways.
Moving in my first house (huzzah). Going with DSL, because I do not want the limitations that the major providers in Canada are impressive. Now I realize that Im going to have to rent / buy my DSL modem.
My question is: Are there major differences in DSL modems? I get what I pay? If I have a 1.5 Mbps connection, then decide to get a 3.5 in later life will all modems c

Q: Not sure why it does it. I even reset the router and tried wired and wireless connections in an attempt to connect. Does not work. Other sites can be connected fine, but everything is SSL and will not connect. Using dial-up that he can connect to the sites, so this makes me think it is a network problem or router problem. As I said, I reset, and he is still no connection. Ive checked everything twice, so I am open to solutions. The DSL modem, rebooted, and tried the latest drivers for it.

Q: I have a D-Link DI-514 setup for my home network. Until recently I never even used the wireless part of the router, only the DSL routing. There I bought a new laptop, I am trying to get to wireless through my house, but Ive noticed that the range of di-514 is really a decent signal awful.
I can not even 25ft away with it even if it is around a few corners. I can not really move because I connect the router to the DSL modem and I would have to rewire move that.
My question: Wou

Q: Good simple and point.
got on my computer, have a KVM switch, my Sprint DSL modem (which is connected to my computer) I got 0.
KVM so I made a new system I have not closed the mine building found while working on the new one.
so next step is to a hub / router / etc so I can both computers connected to the DSL modem. (For the same reason for getting a KVM)
1. What should I use to achieve this goal?
2. Is there a lot of work required?

Q: Hi,
I spent my whole day yesterday trying to figure out who to my ADSL modem to configure it as a bridge rather than a router. The goal was to hand the modem off the public IP address instead of a private individual and the inefficient bypass NATÃng was doing (was imprisoned during heavy torrenting grafting). Later I would configure my WRT54G to do the routing as I had before. I have a summary of making the strange latter.
To problems, my modem is in what is called ZIPB
