2wire bridge mode
I live in mexico and a lot of times I get mad because the low capabilities of my 2wire modem-router, I always wanted to be able to maintain the PPPoE connection by other computer, you got a lot of power this way.
Fear no more, searching in the internet I have found the answer to my problem, its just a matter of enter to the url “management” in our router, and then in the option “Configure Services” you can disable router modem.
For most of us, the url will be like this:
http://192.168.1.254/management
Damn telmex who doesn’t sells real modems, and want us to live by their rules ( I had to write it someday … 
)

After trying and trying of doing this, I realize the modem could not find the PPPoE server to do the login, I talk with a sysadmin friend of mine, he tried to with mixed results, but he gave me a answer..
Appears like not all the firmwares are capable of doing this, so… next step… update the firmware !!! (I haven’t try this method but looks cool)
REMEMBER THIS WILL ERASE ANY TELMEX-FIRMWARE, I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR ACTIONS WTH THESE FILES, I’M ONLY PROVIDING THIS LINKS AS REFERENCE.
ok , read the disclaimer again please…
don’t forget to check your exact version of your modem
