I recently purchased a D-Link DSL-300T modem/router to connect a small
LAN to the Internet. I have been allocated a group of 8 IP addresses
which are routed/NATted by a PC. If I configure the DSL-300T in PPPoA
mode and telnet in to it to correct the routing table, this mostly
works, but I am consistently unable to connect to certain hosts on the
Internet. Unfortunately the modem/router does not have sufficient
diagnostic tools for me to work out what it is doing with packets sent
to or from these hosts.

So, if you have used the DSL-300T in this sort of configuration, I
would be very interested to know how you avoided or fixed this problem.

As an alternative, I thought it might be possible to put the modem/
router in bridging mode and run a PPPoE client on the PC, giving me
more control over the PPP connection. Could anyone explain how to
do that?

As a third possibility, given that the DSL-300T runs Linux, I wonder
if anyone has built network diagnostic tools that I could download
onto it?

I use a Mac G4. I bought a DSL-300T modem which works just fine with
built in ethernet and using DHCP I have also connected a DI-624 router
which allows me to feed a G3 in the next room via a DWL-122 wireless
adapter and an old Mac 1400 notebook using an Orinoco Gold card.
Orinoco is the original producer of Apple's airport cards.

This is a very simple solution (and inexpensive as the only new unit I
bought was the modem, I have 4 other modems all usb)however I did have
some problems doing the configuration as the documentation which comes
with each unit could be improved. The 624 can feed a number of adapters.
