D-Link DSl 2750U Half Bridge Mode

JasDan:
The VPI has to be 8, otherwise it won't work.

I tried setting it to 8, however when you try click 'Next' it throws and error:

invalid vpi/vci
&
Another PPPoE WAN connction already enabled "PPPoE pass-through" on this VPI/VCI,please disable the new one.

I just left it at what it defaulted to, that being 0. Here's the Internet Connection screen:

I don't have a second account to properly test with, and my uncapped account only allows one connection. So this might not work properly. I did manage to connect using a PPPoE connection on my mac, once I had stopped the modem connecting automatically. It worked for a while until the modem reconnected itself again.

I do have the same modem/router with firmware AF_1.65_R01
 
AH. Now I see why it won't allow you to use a VPI of 8 !

You cannot have 2 WAN connections on the D-Link ADSL modems with the same VPI/VCI combination, even if one is disabled.

If the PPPoE Relaying option does not work, then having a second WAN connection that is just a bridge interface, just like you have, then it should have the same effect as PPPoE Relaying.

You can test with the Telkom guest account from your PC. The details are:
username=guest@telkomadsl
password=guest
 
Hi guys,

This seems to work for me for a while however if I disconnect my bridge connections and then try again the next day i have to reboot the internet connection on the wan for them both to work.

I don't understand this. Why are two not allowed? Firmware? Hardware limitation?
