I have the linksys as well. Works OK. I had to keep the firmware at 1.30
because anything higher than that cannot access netbsd or wasabi web sites.
You can get the linksys to port forward. Better than that is the DMZ
feature. A DMZ is a Demilitarized Zone. This allows your machine that is
setup as the DMZ host to be completely accessible to the outside world.
When someone pings or tries to connect to your ip, even though the linksys
is physically sitting between the box and the outside world, all the
requests are directed toward that DMZ host. Pretty cool feature. You may
want to give that a try. I tried the ADSL tools on Mandrake 7.2 with
Verizon, and they worked fine.

I actually have a Lynksys router and it works amazingly well. I'm just
trying to get this PPPoE on Linux package working so I can use that as a
hub, and learn all that there is to learn in the process. I also want to
use the Linux box as an FTP server, have you tried to portmap your linux box
through the router?
Any further advice on the RP-PPPoE would be appreciated as well. :)
