I know just about all the in's and out's for SBC Yahoo DSL, Ive had it since last September. If you need help, I can probably get you going. Ive got mine setup on a Linksys BESFR41 v.2 router that goes to this PC, my PS2 and sometimes a laptop and another desktop(they arent always connected). When I first got SBC, I didnt want all that Yahoo crap, cuz the program sucked and so did the browser. So until I got a router, I just disabled all the other Yahoo stuff and used the Enternet 300 software and had it load and autoconnect on startup. After I got the router, I simply put in the linksys disc that came with it and followed the instructions, it did everything for me.

Most important question: What modem did you get? Some of them are incompatable with the Linksys router and need their firmware updated.

Also, the SBC/Pacbell forum at dslreports.com is the official tech support forum for SBC Yahoo DSL, they have 2 or 3 techs that man the boards, nice guys and they get things fixed fast. I got my line uncapped about a week early from one of them, and hes also calling me tomorrow to connect me with the retension department to get my montly fee lowered, hopefully.
