Just those 2 lines. Hi, the connection with the O2 HomeBox 6641 is done by nameserver 192.168.1.1 the O2 HomeBox 6641 then does use an O2 nameserver. It's a long time ago that I used PPP [1], I even don't remember, if I've ever used it with this router. However, when neither using DHCP nor PPPoE pass-through, how do I connect with the router?
