Re: For PPPoE do ISPs bind MAC addresses of client

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi
I did not came across an ISP (Northeast Coast) that adds MAC to the PPPOE
authentication.
Howvever it takes 2 minutes to clone the MAC, so give it a try.
I did come across Routers that had to be replaced because they could not
provide the PPPOE logon correctly.
Make sure that the software PPPOE provided by some ISPs is not running too.

I am using PPPeE to connect to ISP. If I connect my PC's NIC directly
to the ISPs network, it authenticates fine and all works well. If
however, I configure my router to use PPPoE and connect the ISP's
network cable to the WAN port of my router, i have authentication
problem.

THis makes me wonder, if the ISP has restirected access to the MAC
address of my PC?
