setup.exe not working with PPPoE

setup.exe not working with PPPoE

[Tony Nicol]

Hi,
I am running windows 2000 (Service Pack 2) using ADSL (over PPPoE - =
using ethernet adapter/dialup adsl link)

I normally have no other problems with any part of the internet but....

The setup program when it looks for mirrors.lst fails immediately and =
comes back with the same choose download method screen (no matter what =
method I choose)... tried everything I can think of with no avail

HELP!!

Below is the lines from the setup.log file...

It's not setup.exe - maybe you are behind a firewall
and you need a http proxy to access the web. If this 
is the case just try using one of the proxy or IE5
methods instead of direct.

Hmm... I don't know too much of PPPoE so I guess I'm
not of much help here :( However, perhaps someone of
the mailing list can help - I've crossposted this 
mail there.

P.S. However I think that basically the underlying
network should handle the specifics of your connection
and not the setup program itself.
