-Gargoyle supports PPPoE connections over ADSL links.  ADSL links use phone lines as there physical connection to the internet.  The phone line required special modem equipment on both ends and filters to allow the line to be simultaneously used as a phone connection.  Gargoyle does not support PPPoA connections directly.+Gargoyle supports PPPoE connections over ADSL links.  ADSL links use phone lines as there physical connection to the internet.  The phone line requires special modem equipment on both ends and filters to allow the line to be simultaneously used as a phone connection.  Gargoyle does not support PPPoA connections directly.
  
 For those of you that have PPPoE connections and want to deploy a Gargoyle router you would be wise to pay attention to the configuration of your ADSL device.  Most of these devices can be configured as routers themselves but since you are using Gargoyle it is best if you change the configuration the into a simple modem.  The name of this mode varies by manufacturer.  The term "bridged mode" seems the most common but something like "modem mode" or "simple ADSL modem" may also be used.  Changes to these devices are typically made through a web page you can access using the modem's IP address. For those of you that have PPPoE connections and want to deploy a Gargoyle router you would be wise to pay attention to the configuration of your ADSL device.  Most of these devices can be configured as routers themselves but since you are using Gargoyle it is best if you change the configuration the into a simple modem.  The name of this mode varies by manufacturer.  The term "bridged mode" seems the most common but something like "modem mode" or "simple ADSL modem" may also be used.  Changes to these devices are typically made through a web page you can access using the modem's IP address.

 There are several reasons to configure your modem in this fashion.  First the performance of Gargoyle's QoS will be improved since it will account for PPPoE overhead leading to more accurate control.  Second your ADSL Router becomes transparent and your Gargoyle router will obtain your WAN (wide area network) IP address directly. This is useful should you need to port forward or remotely gain access to your network from the internet. There are several reasons to configure your modem in this fashion.  First the performance of Gargoyle's QoS will be improved since it will account for PPPoE overhead leading to more accurate control.  Second your ADSL Router becomes transparent and your Gargoyle router will obtain your WAN (wide area network) IP address directly.

-Before you change the device into modem mode make sure that you enable DHCP on the device.  In most of these devices DHCP can be active in modem mode although sometimes it is necessary to configure it before you change modes.  If you do this step you will automatically be able to access your modem's web page from your LAN without further configuration.+The three things that need to be done. 
 +  - Configure your modem with a fixed IP address which is not on the subnet used by your LAN.  For example if you LAN devices are in the 192.168.1.x subnet then give your modem the fixed IP 192.168.2.1,

 +  - Change the mode of the modem to the "bridge mode".  
  
 +Since all routers are different you will need to do some research to figure out how to navigate the screens on your modem to accomplish the above.  But if you are able to do these no further work is needed on your part and after resetting your router you will be able to access the modem from your LAN using the fixed IP address you gave it.
  
-===== Manual Configuring for modem access =====+If you are unable to get DHCP to work on your modem in 'bridged' mode you can read further on how to manually configure your router to overcome this issue.

 For most people the above introduction section is all you need to read to properly configure your router.  However, if you cannot get the DHCP server on your modem to function in 'bridge mode' you can manually configure this function. For most people the above introduction section is all you need to read to properly configure your router.  However, if you cannot get the DHCP server on your modem to function in 'bridge mode' you can manually configure this function.
