See Page 9...<br />
See Page 10... looks like you'll need to enter the username / password into the 170... <br />
<br />
Just a quick inspection:<br />
<br />
Allow 170 to connect via PPPoE on the WAN port (set this up with your username / password)<br />
LAN side computers will connect using TCP/IP to the 170

Thanks for the help and link - seems actually that the Verizon DSL router had to be put into bridged mode first via direct ethernet connection before the router will work.

Does anyone know the proper settings to get a Verizon Business DSL line up with a SonicWall TZ-170 router? We found the spot for PPPoE username and password, but it still will not connect thru the router (if we plug the pc right into the dsl modem it works). We use dynamic IP's from Verizon and internally as well.<br />

Are there settings we are missing?

Verizon DSL and SonicWall TZ-170 Router Setup

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Broadband

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
