Re: Router Question..
I have a linksys BFSR11 I have used with both DSL and my current Cable connections. I have also installed and troubleshot many Linksys routers as my former job used them exclusively. I can tell you, from my experience, PPPOE is a pain in the arse. You could try going to Linksys website and getting firmware upgrade, they have patched it several times because of PPPOE.

Re: Router Question..
I recently got a lynksys router. Got an ADSL modem pluged into it that uses PPoE. I forget what kind of errors meesages I got but I could not send e-mail to most addresses. (although some worked.) Thank god my bro had the same problem. The problem is with the MTU setting. I believe it defaults to disabled. I set it to enabled with a size of 1492 and it works great.

Re: Router Question..
ewww, pppoe?
BEFSR41, BEFVP41, or BEFSX41?
i didnt think that linksys' (or any other router i have met) even had SMTP servers. anyway, default MTU for most networks is 1500. i take it you mean you are having socket errors trying to sent email through the firewall, and not to or from it?

Re: Router Question..
If you are looking for a good PPPoE driver, go here: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/
Its only 91 kb and works like a charm for me.
