Hi
I have a question regarding my Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
Currently I have my Airport Express set up in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). My Airport settings on my Powerbook is set up to connect using PPPoE using my given login name and password. I can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, I would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.
What I want is to have the Airport Express connect to my ISP using a PPPoE connection and not my Powerbook. I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using my Powerbook to connect to PPPoE
How can I get my Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
(My Nintendo DS will not connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password)
