I'm not an expert on this, but I have cable, and I don't have to put a user name, or PW.

At my grandfathers house (He has DSL) I had to put in his full name, such as Grandfather@aol.com (He doesn't have AOL, just an example) and had to put in his password for it to work, it took me a few days to figure that out cause the DSL company, and sony was saying you shouldn't need the user name and PW. It also had to be the main account holders name a PW. Also there was something about if he had a Dynamic, or Static IP, If I remember right I figured out he had a Dynamic IP. I don't really remember if that is what determined if I needed to put the Name, or not, but it had something to do with getting it to connect. Hope this helps some.

As far as have to user a router, I don't know about that, but I was using one at his house, and I use one at my house as well. 7seals seems pretty sure that is what it is going to take, so if all else fails give it a try.

before u turn on ur ps2, plug the cable to ur ps2, unplug the powercord on ur cable modem and wait for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in. It should work.

I have a feeling that this guy maybe figured it out and that's why he hasn't posted.. But I'd like to hear if/how he got it to work. And 7Seals, if your right, I'll be more than happy to let you gloat and thank you for your sound knowledge. :)

Okay, I hate saying this but I used to be a technician at an ISP and one of our DSL services was Verizon. In fact seeing that you live in Erie 7seals you may remember a company called Stargate, we serviced your area. But back to the point.

"THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT YOU MUST HAVE A ROUTER TO CONNECT TO DSL" The authentication software in the PS2 is perfectly adequate to hand the task of connecting via PPPoE, I have had Verizon DSL for over 3 years, I do have PPPoE, and I have had Socom since Socom 1 was released, I also have the Westell wirespeed modem that you are using. I have NEVER had a problem connecting my DSL without a router. It is not a geographic issue either, Verizon uses the same hardware in all their DSlams, and thus it's transferring the same signal to you and me.

I suggest we troubleshoot his connection before just assuming he needs a router.

well. i need a router to play. nothin else worked for me. it wouldnt etasblish a connection. then when i bought a router and plugged it in. boom, all the sudden my DSL worked. did my DSL just all the sudden work at that time. or did the router effect it. my thoughts are the router allowed it to work. unless the DSL just suddenly started to work when i bought a router
