Ask PowerPage: Airport Base Station & Verizon DSL


I am a subscriber to Verizon’s DSL Service in Pennsylvania and it works just peachy when directly connected (via Ethernet) to either my PowerBook G4 or to my desktop Mac but it refuses to work with my Airport Base Station 2 (Snow).

I read the PowerPage article on the topic and figured that simply duplicating my local settings on the ABS2 would suffice – but alas, no packets. I suspect that it has something to do with PPoE but would appreciate some insight from anyone using Verizon DSL in the northeast connected to an ABS2. Someone has to have this working, right?
