PPPoE is for DSL lines. If your on cable, no.
Not to pick on you, but please try to keep your posts together. This will help you and anyone helping you.

Do you use PPPoE to connect to the net

I understand, sorry about that!
Thanks!

I'm not to sure if I connect using it, I just read that the cable modem i'm using uses or maybe supports it. So i'm a bit confused.

You don't have to dial in to establish a connection before using your ISP do you? I understand that there are some cable ISP that so this, but I've never seen any.

some routers/bridges/ have the PPPoE built in however if your getting a 1500MTU or greater than MTU of 1492 then more than likely your not using PPPoE and that it supports it.... Now wouldnt it be funny if cable went with PPPoE

For most of you not I have no problem with it... But it might cause people to freak...
But then I read the front page on speedgude and that didn't freak me.
