At first I thought it was the ISP's problem, because it was working fine and dandy for a month or so and after I got back from my trip, internet was down. After calling ISP, they told me the default stuff and also told me to plug the DSL modem directly to the PC since "routers are not supported" by them. Grudgingly I complied and lo & behold, I got internet!
Fortunately, I have an ancient Dlink DI-804V router that I'm using as my PPPoE dialer and my Buffalo router is connected to it now. Another hop to go to the internet, but it's better than nothing.
Today, I decided to try the Tomato Firmware 1.06. Flashing was easy through the DD-WRT's web interface, just make sure you write down the encrypted password by sending this command:
nvram get http_passwd
because this will be the password after reboot - username is root.
Unfortunately, I get the same behavior as DD-WRT firmware with respect to PPPoE. I guess I give up for now and try something else later.
