I need to enter my user name and password created for the modem but she couldn't tell me where. I found some settings called PPPoe which allowed a user name and password to be entered - but it still didn't work.
I was doing some research on Google for the hook-ups and Wikipedia (thanks Andrew!) on PPPoe. Then my brain melted.
Anyone have IT-idiot proof suggestions?
Linksys wireless router
Motorola ATT DSL Modem.
thank you!

Connect the Modem to the Internet port on the router.
Enter the PPPoe username/pw as given. Save and reboot the router.
Go into the router config, there should be a test screen that will let you ping (try 4.2.2.2) or open a web page. See if that works.
IF YES: Then you need to look at the DHCP settings for your internal LAN
IF NO: I give up.
