Later I'll try a fully bridged* setup, so that our domain (rtr.ca) can become visible again over this temporary setup. (* as in, a single xDSL modem with two active PPPoE sessions up, one for the neighbours dynamic-IP, and a second connection for our rtr.ca static-IP).


Well, that was easy.

The neighbour's DSL modem has a built-in router/firewall/switch/etc.. which they use for their access. So the modem software manages their PPPoE session entirely.

Our wireless bridge setup connects into one of the ports on their modem.

Our PPPoE software "just works" in this setup -- that's the part that suprised me!

I had figured we might have to disable the internal firewall/router functionality to get the second session up, and use an external router to manage their connection. But no, it "just works" as-is.

Cheers
