getting MN 700 to talk to Telefonica ZyXEL modem in Spain

anybody have any insight as to what is going on with
broadband protocols in Spain...? Had a telefonica tech
out here for 2 hours and he couldn't figure it out...nor
can I...

They use PPPoE w/dynamic IP...sorry if that's redundant,
but i'm just a stupid geetar player...

anyway, with all the passwords/usernames etc... I still
can't get MN-700 to validate the internet
connection...plugging in directly to the ZyXEL router
gives me one, so it's there, but MN 700 can not detect
it...

any help por favor?

thanks,
C

Well first off the MN-700 uses different wireless channels then they use
in spain. Second off you should never run more then one router.

Since you are outside the USA & Canada Microsoft will not support you.
As such I suggest getting a router that is made for the country you are
in. This is because different countries follow some standards differently.

Please do not contact me directly or ask me to contact you directly for
assistance.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

After reading and considering Joker's follow-up to your posting...

Is your modem also a router? If so, your MN700 should not be in router
mode. Instead it should be in bridge mode, and it should get a lan ip from
the zyxel modem/router.
