Hi Siju, You left out a few important details about the service package from your provider. PPPoE is cheap way for providers to prevent people from stealing service (i.e. hooking up their own DSL gear to an abandoned/unused line). I've seen PPPoE used in service packages with a dynamic IP and service packages with a static IP (or a small block of static IP's). At times the service provider will be using DHCP to configure the external interface (often based in the DSL modem/router itself) and other times, they don't offer DHCP and you're expected to configure the interface yourself. Details of the exact kind of service package you have from your provider and occasionally info on the DSL hardware you're using are needed to figure out how things should be set up on your end. Kind Regards, JCR
