Integrating PPPoE

[zilvershadow]

:idea: hey could someone help me integrating pppoe into xbmc. i am not as skilled as you are but i thought it wouldnt be that hard to program pppoe into xbmc because there are a lot of options from opensource projects.

i'm beggin you for help :bowdown:

i want pppoe support but i don't know where to start. ive visual studio xdk installed and downloaded xbmc sources. i was thinking of http://sourceforge.net/projects/pppoe/ of beospppoe. how do i make this 'kind of dll' work in xbmc? is there any internet connection lib involved? isn't there just an option in the xdk for pppoe support?

thanks

i believe this was brought up before it was determined it requires rewriting the tcp/ip stack.

i don't believe the xdk supports it nativly, but doubt you have to rewrite the tcp/ip stack as it should be on application-level (shouldn't it?).
fyi, pppoe has been discussed/requested before here (link) (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=4;t=1670) *:shifty: ...and pppoa which is kind of related been discussed/requested here (link) (http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.pl?act=st;f=4;t=1675).

maybe it's possible to compile the pppoe driver from sourceforge for the xbox and make a loader for it?
