Hi
When you use a Modem/Router the PPPOE is done in the Router. The connection
between computers they are connected to the Router and the Internet is via
regular Ethernet Network and does not need PPPOE.
Since your computer can not connect to the Router, it might be that its
Network configuration is Not functional.
This page was written for WinXP but the principle is the same for Vista try
to use is a guide to debug your network settings.
