Hi I'm really struggling at the moment to connect via a PPPOE connection from my pc (Windows Xp) that has the following setup:
PC -> Lan Cable -> Dlink DAP 1155 Wireless Bridge/AP (Bridge Mode) -> Wifi -> Telkom Netgear Router/Modem -> ADSL Internet
The Netgear router is logged in to my telkom internet account and works perfectly. Using the setup normally my PC has internet via my telkom account. But when I want to connect to another ISP from my PC via the build in windows PPPOE connection wizard I get the following error:
"Error 678: The computer did not respond"
The Netgear is set up to allow PPPOE relay and the same settings do work on my laptop (WIndows 7) for the following setup without and error and does connect to the secondary ISP.
Laptop -> Wifi -> Netgear Router/Modem -> ADSL Internet
Am I missing something? Is this setup possible and how can I make it work or does the problem lie with the DAP 1155 bridge? Any help or more information would be appreciated. Have been struggling with this for a few days now already.
[EDIT] Adding a basic diagram of the setup.
