    Not to be an (_!_) ......but did you even look at the manual? :hehe:

    On page 16 (assuming you have the rev c of the router) under the section Using Configuration Menu, it tells you how to do it.

    Basically, go to the Advanced tab in the configuration menu. Click the WAN button. Click the radio button next to PPPoE. If your ISP dynamically assigns you an IP address, choose the radio button next to Dynamic PPPoE. If your ISP gave you a static IP address, choose the radio button next to Static PPPoE. Put in your username that you use to connect to your ISP. Your password. Your password again. Leave the MTU set to 1492 (you may need to tweak this later to get the best performance from your net connection) click the radio button next to Enabled for auto reconnect. Click apply and go try to access the itnernet.

    If you can't connect to the web config page for the router, try this page and see if it has something that helps.

    I don't see why it shouldn't. I have had trouble getting to the configuration menu on a router once. But that was on a Windows98 machine...so who knows what could have been causing that. :D
