Multiple pppoe sessions

[Obelix]

Any idea how many pppoe sessions can be run through one modem ?

as many as you like

If from the same PC then XP's pppoe will only allow one. If you want more than one on the same PC you need to install raspppoe and configure the "Number of lines (WAN endpoints)" driver parameter to the max number you need on the PC.

i'll be having multiple pc's each with their own account sharing the same modem&line

That will work 100%. It is just what I am doing at the moment.

hmmm instead of using openrouter and configuring proxy settings everywhere.

why cant i use 2 ppoe conns then direct all int traffic thro one ppoe conn and local thro the other

but the int ppoe conn must be set to send all traffic, of all port types thro the proxy.

is this possible using route sentry or something?

AFAIK in order to route national/local traffic through seperate connections, this requires a manual setup of the IP routing table?

gladiator. You can do that, but you need to know which ip ranges are local route them accordingly. And no, its not just one continuous block.

That's exactly what routesentry does...

Could someone please find that post and make it a sticky?

We get this question every week so it will be great that people just see routesentry and use it, rather than asking the same question every week

Thanks

local routing doesnt interest me. getting each torrent leach to mess up their own cap is my problem.
