Do you use a simple modem and/or you use a router in bridging mode ? So to summarize you use rfc1843 in the modem/router (but you have to put an ip in the modem/router configuration if I am not wrong). Then you assign your ethernet card the IP you get from your provider and you use the default peer as default gateway. Correct ? Is this work in this way ?
