Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 15:23 Post subject: Problem solved itself: PPPoE setup with China Unicom
Hi, I am a newbie to dd-wrt so please bear with me if it is obvious
My router worked fine with original firmware - was setup by a technician from China Unicom (the router was speaking Chinese - so no idea how it was set).
Today I flashed 24-sp2 build 14896 into the router - no problem.
I tried to set up the PPPoE - problems. I called China Unicom who send a technician - Still can not connect to internet.
When I put the WAN cable into a switch port and connect with my PC (username and PW) - it works.
Why can I not get the router to authenticate?
and later I want to install VPN client to bypass "great chinese firewall"
When I check status - is seems connected with WAN IP and everything.
The router is D-link DIR 600 Rev B2 - but I doubt it is HW related.
Any help will be appriciated

Hi,
After lengthy trails I have a success story to report. I read the forum and found a new SW for my router: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=152219&start=45
HOWEVER I do not THINK this changed the problem, but I reset to factory defaults and tapped in the settings again - that changed the behaviour.
