I have recently formatted my pc and installed the RASPPPOE software and changed all the nessesarry setting under my network settings, even the router is still in Bridge mode, but I can't seem to connect.

I know all settings are right as it did connect briefly this past weekend, but since then it just says connecting. This has happened before on an another pc but the issue resolved itself.

Any idea what could be the issue? :(
 
kiepie, RASPPPoE is only required if you want to dial multiple PPPoE accounts from a single PC.
In fact, you don't need RASPPPoE, since you can do a simple registry modification to allow Windows XP SP2 (or newer Windows distributions) to dial multiple PPPoE accounts simultaneously.

I'm not sure if you have to specify the VPI/VCI when configuring your router in bridge mode? I think you have to specify it as 8/35 for the bridge to work.

Could you please state which router you're using?
 
Hi Pada,

I'm trying to connect to two accounts, but not even one is connecting right now.

The settings on my Billion 7300G is still at 35/8, the same as before the format, but now when I click dail, it just stays on "connecting". this is on different accounts from different ISP's, they do connect if I take my router out of Bridge mode again.
