You forgot to mention a major step. You should connect the PC directly to your DSL modem, log into it, and change it to "bridged mode" so that it isn't also performing a PPPoe login. You only want to log in from your linksys.

Thank you Jon, thank you for your added value.

You are right as if the modem is in PPPOE mode and has a dhcp we don't need to configure our router in PPPoe mode.

I have a WRT54G Wireless router works in wireless G and 2.4 Ghz Frequency. The problem is I cannot setup this router anymore. I can go online when I connect my computer to the modem but when I connect Linksys WRT54G router to computer I am not online. What might be the reason?

Trying to use Alice Gate 2 plus with a linksys wrt54gs. Power,WAN, Internet lights are on.DO I still have to setup the ADSL connection on each computer??? I put the wireless in PPPOE and put in UN and PW saved. I checked the Alice DSL modem says its bridged. Isnt the point of putting in the info in the router is so just connect via wireless?
