Sorry - long story - cant make it shorter than it is,,, please take time to read..


bought an airport extreme in june last year.. brought it to kenya where i asked my ISP to set up for me with their PPPoE service. doesnt allow me access to certain sites... allows me to browse iTS but it wont check for purchases. wont allow me to sign in using Windows Live messenger on my any PC or mac..

ISP suggested to alter MTU rate.. they tried evrything no solution to problem, no way to alter MTU rate... airport extreme works perfectly when in LAN mode
daisychained from another router... no problem WHATSOEVER...

I got fed up using cable and purchased a WRTG54... was working perfectly till last night when i came back from a lovely two day safari and i noticed it had changed its SSID.. thats last non apple product im ever buying in my life....

so to cut a long story short, i need to get Airport working.. is there anyway i can make Airport detect my current network setup and automatically apply the current settings for PPPoE that are on my MBP without my intervention:

basically for it to see my current network PPPoE setting and to adapt it without me needing to enter anything (apart from maybe telling airport utility to use the current setings on my MBP), that way there is no possibility of any settings being incorrect as MBP works perfectly well on PPPoE.
