A problem that a friend is having with his router and modem – hope you can help on this one.
He had a cable router, which was used on virgin cable, but he moved house and was transferred to adsl so he obviously needed a modem. So, he went out and got a Netgear DM111P and linked his modem to the router. Now the modem connects fine to the internet but can’t connect to the router – something about needing encapsulation over PPPoA?
Now I thought this wasn’t needed for the router and the modem to communicate this use the ‘net link.
Any ideas about how to solve the problem (the router and modem are on different IP addys)
