Apple base station with BT Broadband

    Hi folks,

    Ive been having some trouble with setting up my apple router....

    I have the newest Apple Airport Extreme base station (802.11n) and Zyxel DSL modem I got from BT Broadband.

    I followed the simple instructions in the Airport utility (by the way - im using a Intel Core Duo Macbook to setup)....I chose to connect using PPPoE and entered my username and password that i got from calling BT's helpline. When the base station restarts with the configuration it cant find the PPPoE host..... no luck ringing BT as they say they dont offer technical support for the Apple base station.....

    Whats even stranger is that if I configure the router to use DHCP everything seems to work fine.... even though the amber light on the base station always flashes and the utility tells me the base station need attention....

    Has anyone successfully set up a Apple base station to work with BT broadband? Or even Eircom for that matter?

    Appreciate help on this.....

    John.

    I dont know the bt modem but if it is a router then you will have to put it in bridge mode. On the other hand you say that when you configure the apple to use dhcp it works fine so what exactly are you worrying about?
