Connecting wireless router and modem

02Oct08

I have an Aztech wireless router and Aztech modem in my home connected togather. My connection looks something like below

Internet — Modem — Wireless Router — My Laptop

I have assigned the modem to use PPPoe connection and Dynamic or Static IP for the Wireless Router. That means I am connecting WAN connection through Wireless Router. I have no problem connecting to the internet by using this setting accept a few things. Somehow, I cannot update my windows xp and almost every site with submission button seems not to work. At first, I thougt it was the firewall and firefox that are blocking some of the protocols. After disabling all the firewall, the problem still remains. So, I tried connecting my laptop directly to the modem by using enthernet cable and it worked well.  From the admin panel in the Wireless router, I know I can connect to the internet using PPPoe. After spending several hours on the net, I finally found out on how to connect wan connction frm Wireless Router. The Modem need to be set using bridge connection before we can use the pppoe connection in the Wireless Router. After doing all this, I finnaly solve the problem.
