Will the Xbox work over a PPOA connection?
I have just joined up with Plus.net, installed a Dlink DSL-300T ADSL ethernet modem & I can get my PC to work over the internet OK.

What I want to do next is get an Xbox working.
I have a Linksys BEFSR41 V2 DSL router, it does not want to work for me in this setup. So that aside, I want to try an Xbox plugged direct into the modem.

What do I have to do?

What settings do I need to set?
The connection uses PPOA, does the Xbox support this? or even need it? as I see PPOE in the settings.

When I plug the xbox in, I get cables OK, IP OK but it fails at the DNS settings, even when they are on automatic.

Any suggestions.

Thankyou.
