Quite chuffed with my little Routerboard, I'm splitting my international and local traffic with two PPPoE and was wondering if I could add that uncapped 384kbps account from Screamer to route all the torrent traffic?
 
I currently have 4 ppoe connections though each pc is running there own 1
 
I know windows PC's come standard with limiting to 1 connection p.pc but you can easily change in registry!
 
I guess the only limitation would be a memory limitation, and Mikrotik routers have plenty of RAM.
 
uh hu, something"endpoints" i think
"WanEndpoints" to be exact ;)

With both my Nanostation 5 & Linksys WRT54GL, I haven't reached a limit of PPPoE connections yet. I have dialed at least 5 PPPoE connections at one stage. The only differences in the configuration files were the username, password & unit (PPP interface number)
 
Hi all

quick question, I have an account on my router and it is perm connected, if i dial in with a wan miniport connection on a pc, which account is used?
 
I have had 12 pppoe connections before on IS accounts and SAIX account.
 
Hi thanks SoftDux - Windows XP is what i am running.

Then you need that RASPPPOE or something like that program. :) That on XP is a PPPOE connection WAN MINI port by default only 1 is allowed. Windows vista and 7 its a registry edit and its done. With xp you need RASPPPOE

Thanks cavedog, if the router's connection is connected and i then connect with another account through a WAN Miniport, which connection is being used?
 
Cavedog, I've recently discovered that you can actually do the same registry modifications in Windows XP as with Vista & 7, instead of using RASPPPoE! In Windows XP you can also specify whether the connection should be the default gateway or not. By default it would be the default gateway. You can change that setting in the PPPoE connection's TCP/IP v4 properties > Advanced > "Use default gateway on remote network
