Hi there,
Recently I had a few dropped internet connections and I think it's due to the way I have my network setup.
The hardware: imac, time capsule, and a zyxel p-660 modem router
I have it wired as follows:
Telephone line into the zyxel
lan cable from lan port to the time capsule wan port
the mac is wired through another lan cable from the timecapsule lan port
At the moment the wlan on the zyxel is turned off, and its setup to "rout".
The TC is set to bridge mode.
I would like to set it up exactly the other way around, so that the zyxel is not handling the ip addresses and dhcp etc...
Mind you i am no expert on this field as you may have noticed.
In the browser web configuration of the zyxel I can set it to bridge mode, after which it asks me to enter the encapsulation (?) PPPOeA or RFC 1438. Which one would I have to use?
Do I need to turn dhcp to "none", "server" or "relay" on the zyxel after putting it into bridge mode?
What about NAT?
As for the TC:
Connect using: Ethernet or PPPOE?
Share a public IP address or distribute a range of ip addresses?
What about all those TCP/IP options?
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP? Manually?
I have played around with these options so long but I couldn't figure it out. Always ended up resetting the zyxel and going back to the old configuration.
Are there some kind souls out there willing to help me out?
