Re: [PLUG] OT: Setting up Verizon DSL WITHOUT their software...
|
You will probably need to call them to get your verizon user name and password for PPPOE. Once you have the username and password you should be able to set your router up for PPPOE no problem. I got dry loop DSL from Verizon and run only Linux and Mac OSX. I had no problem getting it to work with my Linksys Router.
Peace,
Michael

Hodwy All,
I decided to put my modem connection out to pasture and signed up with Verizon for their cheap $15 DSL service. Since I have Mac OSX I am foreseeing that trying to get my PPPoE account with their icky
software will be impossible. Even if it is possible, I don't want to use it. All I need is to get a username/password to use with my Airport PPPoE setup.
Is their an alternative way of doing this that does not involve
calling them? I googled it and found that there is a web-site that could be used to do this (https://dslreg.verizon.net). However, all the postings about it where pretty old, and Verizon does not have any
mention of this site on their documentation. Anyone knows if this will work?
TIA,
Guillermo
