Hey guys,
i have a speedstream 4200 modem (supplied by my ISP Optus)
and a Belkin Wirekess G router.
I was looking through the belkins settings through this http://192.168.2.1/index.html
I then click Internet WAN and seen this..
Select your connection type:
Dynamic
A Dynamic type of connection is the most common. If you use a cable modem, then most likely you will have a dynamic connection. If you have a cable modem or you are not sure of your connection type, use this.
Static
A Static IP address connection type is less common than others. Use this selection only if your ISP gave you an IP address that never changes.
PPPoE
If you use a DSL modem and/or your ISP gave you a User Name and Password, then your connection type is PPPoE. Use this connection type.
PPTP
[European Countries Only]. This type of connection is most common in European countries. If your ISP has specifically told you that you use PPTP and has supplied you with the proper PPTP information, then use this option.
Telstra BigPond
[Australia Only] Users of Telstra BigPond Cable or DSL will use this option to configure the connection.

My current setting is Dynamic. But I then seen PPPoE
which says:
If you use a DSL modem and/or your ISP gave you a User Name and Password, then your connection type is PPPoE. Use this connection type.
My answer is yes i do..
The Speedstream does have account and password on it.
I then click PPPoE on the Belkin..
It reboots but has no internet connection.. ?
This is really no issue to me but would my internet run better if it was on PPPoE instead of Dynamic ?
