Hi,

SBC yahoo DSL, Speedstream 5100, Dlink POS DI 614+.
I recently flashed the firmware on the DLink in hopes
of curing some wifi problems, doing so reverted to
factory settings. Here's the odd thing - even though
it is now set to Dynamic IP rather than PPPoE,
it still works, even across powerdowns of both.
Why is this? Is the speedstream caching the PPPoE
info someplace?

It's working so I dont want to break it but I have a
feeling sooner or later it may stop..

Thanks
Thomas

That's one possibility, the other is that your router
was not truly wiped clean by your procedure.

I guess a third, much more remote possibility is SBC is
providing you connectivity even though you haven't
logged in -- something I've never seen happen.
