Hi

 

I could try help you get the crappy enternet software working OR try this link above - I have used his software with a 1000% better success rate. Read his doc and try. I have attached the files needed as well. I think you will prefer this software.

 

Any feedback welcome.

Hi Bil

I found this DSL PPPoE software - Freeware - Works excellently well -+ 100kb - The great thing about it is it does not create a Network Adapter but only a Protocol. It works with win98 and win2k (actually designed for win2k.

There is also a bug in win98 SE which requires a Microsoft fix - also in link below.

Only one thing may be needed, is to reduce the MTU size which is provided for in the readme. mine is currently 1400.

RUN ping -f -l 1492 x.x.x.x (and see if you get a response through the VPN.)

Good luck

Subject: DSL and PPPoE...did you get it to work..

 

hello Andrew;

I did a search on Securepoint.com for PPPoE and it looks like you had Secure

remote working over a DSL modem.

I have tried several times, to follow your recommendations, but it seems the

only option I get for Selecting a card in the enternet properties is FW1.

Do you still have those screen shots, pics, of hwt should be binding to

what.

I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Andrew:

I saw a link to your email on www.phoneboy.com, I hope you don't mind me asking you a question -

 

I have Mindspring DSL using PPPoE (Network TeleSystems EnterNet 100 v.1.102.004 :: Sep 10 1999:11:32:02) on a system running Windows98 SE. I am trying to install CheckPoint's VPN+Strong SecuRemote 4.1 build 4165 for Windows 95/98 

 

I followed the instructions you had listed on www.phoneboy.com, but when I came to:

 

"Make sure there is an entry for the FW1 adapter bound to the PPPoE adapter and an entry for TCP/IP bound to the FW1(PPPoE) adapter "

 

I was stumped, I tried to set the binding in one of the FW1 adaptors to the PPPoE adapter, but the PPPoE adapter wasn't in the list of possible protocols to bind to. I tried to set the NIC card to be bound to the FW1 adaptor, but after closing the window the check mark would disappear. Since I couldn't bind the FW1 adapter to the PPPoE adapter, I couldn't bind TCP/IP to the FW1(PPPoE) adapter.

 

I was able to set the EnterNet software to the NIC card, but when I attempted to connect, it gave me "Server Connection" errors -- I assume it's because I haven't been able to to the binding mentioned above.

 

can you help me get this going?

 

any suggestions would be appreciated

 

thanks,
