yes on the router according to your post above, you are running dhcp. go into the router settings and change it from dhcp to ppoe, you will need your user id and password provided by verizon. and again, do you know what i mean about changing the ip from 192.168.1.1 to 2.1? Once you configure the router via hardwire, go into ip setting change to 2.1 and disconnect the rj45.

never mind for now the ip addy change....

of course the router is running DHCP, that is were the "client" computers get their IP addresses from. the only piece of equipment that should be using PPOE is the ADSL modem (westell modem/router, still don't know why the manufacturers insist on calling it a modem )..

since you are using a linksys router..you may want to check to see if the WRT54GS needs a firmware upgrade. the last 6 out of 10 i worked on have.

Also double check the SSID and channel...linksys setup disks..can get a little hinky......

Let us know how you make out...

yeah of course it is running dhcp, however it can run ppoe instead of dynamic host configuration protocol keeps going to school you will learn

[brianmil0923]

true. that is how the router is connected to the DSL connection..but what does that have to do with how PC are connecting to the router....????

wrong- ppoe is setup in the router can be configured in the router son

[rivekm]

pc's get the ip address either automatically assigned or statically as well as a router can have an ip assigned statically.

[brianmil0923]

so then on every computer that that you connect to the wireless router ..you're gonna configure PPOE???

well, there you go..you solved it....have the user configure all her computers for PPOE and just enter DSL user login information..that will stop her wireless client from dropping a connection for sure.....

no the ppoe is setup in router configuration see the link i sent

[rivekm]

im hoping it will, i have run dhcp on ppoe's and i have seen the problem...i hope it works, my fingers are crossed.

[susiegirl07]

I read of of yoru posts and I will say it again........I am set up using PPPOE. The link you sent me was the exact way I set it up a while ago. The dhcp is just something that is enabled. You can either enable it or disable it. Since I have verizon dsl I had to set it up PPPOE.

My router has all updated frimware, my netword is all updated, windows does not manage my wireless connection and WZC is disabled.

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Susie

rivekm...you are confusing issues in this thread, and making it more difficult for two Staff members to help this user. Please allow brianmil and dsenette to help this user. Jumping into a thread and posting conflicting advice that a Staff member is already working on is simply not a good idea.

[brianmil0923]

I know you had PPOE set up. That is how you connect the router to the westell modem.

And while the link posted by rivekm is 100% accurate technically. It does not address your situation.

you can try enabling zero configuration and set you router to limit internet connectivity by MAC addresses.

[susiegirl07]

When I disabled zero config it made my commection stronger. When I disabled windows from managing my network adapter it seemed to make things better on to find out that my connection still drops out. I do have mac address set up as well I just did that a couple of days ago.

My son plays on xbox live that is on our network as well and he doesn't seem to have any problems.

Thanks,
Susie

Do me a favor and check power options in control panel..set hibernate and suspend to never...reboot..see if that helps. I know on some laptops, the network connections can get weird if the laptop goes into hibernation.

I'll look do a little more research on this...
