Buy a router, preferably a wireless one.
They usually boast a WAN port and 4 ethernet ports, and come with setup software.
The setup software usually detects the router and allows you to change settings.
Give the router an IP address (one that matches your network range)
(From then on you can usually http to the router with your browser)
Plug the router into your network.
Plug the I-burst Modem into the Wan port, HTTP into the router and setup a PPPoe connection using your Iburst login and password.
Check with Iburst, you may have to specify the DNS entries on the router.
On networked machines specify the router IP address as the internet gateway, and as the DNS entry.
You should also be able to block certain ip addresses in the router if you want to stop people having access.
can I achieve this with a telkom billion adsl router

ORLY? So: all of the above, which I presume to be ADSL-gateways have RJ45 connectors on their WAN ports do they? If so, what happen(s/ed) to the RJ11 that you would use, you know, for your ADSL line?Absolutely..i can recommend billion 400G,800VGT, 73XX AS WELL AS 74XX. For Billion 400G AND 800VGT please visit any telkom direct shop if you would like to purchase one.
The 'net/WAN port on an ADSL router is an RJ11 - you would recognise it as a phone jack. What you want, as found on the DIR-300 et al is an RJ45 on the WAN port - it's the same network socket that you see on network cards/motherboards/network switches.I phoned Iburst re: adsl router billion 800 vgt and they said no
it will not work as it will try to do PPPoe via adsl and not Iburst
Has anyone had success with a adsl router
If it supports PPPoe.
I've personally used Dlink and Asus routers, they cost less than R200 nowadays.

Just read the manual for 800vgt.It does not have a WAN port as required

Billion 800VGT Supports EWAN 100%..There's always a way of doing things like using LAN port 1 as an EWAN port, all you need is the script to convert Lan port 1 to EWAN, once that has been done you Plug the I-burst Modem into the Wan port1 (WITH RJ45 optional USB) ..no need to setup pppoe on the GUI, everything will be done on CLI..THE script will guide you a detailed instruction on how to convert ports as well as to setup pppoe with iburst login username and password.
Thank you..where/how do we get the script please
THanks

So, in the name of furthering the MyBB KB and, as specifically to the benefit of Billion too, why not make that data public?Billion 800VGT Supports EWAN 100%..There's always a way of doing things like using LAN port 1 as an EWAN port, all you need is the script to convert Lan port 1 to EWAN, once that has been done you Plug the I-burst Modem into the Wan port1 (WITH RJ45 optional USB) ..no need to setup pppoe on the GUI, everything will be done on CLI..THE script will guide you a detailed instruction on how to convert ports as well as to setup pppoe with iburst login username and password.
