SBC Yahoo DSL problem - PPPoE no longer working on my router?

Hi everyone,

Have had SBC Yahoo DSL working flawlessly for 3 months. I disable PPPoE on my Speedstream 5100 modem and activate it on my D-Link DI-604 router, login with the @sbcglobal.net user name and password and everything worked fine.

Last night they had a blackout in my area so things weren't working. This morning I called them and they walked me through re-enabling PPPoE on my modem and connecting that way, just modem to 1 PC. That's how I'm connected now. However I'd obvioulsy like to share the connection with the other 2 PCs in my house.

When I enable it on my router and take it off the modem, it says the PPPoE is connected, I get a WAN IP address, a default gateway, and 2 DNS servers, just like it normally would. However there is no Internet light on the modem (not sure if it's always like that) and I have no connectivity.

However, I left my router on top of the back of my tv in my room which was on all night. Would this permanently damage the router?

TIA guys,

Tim
 
When you plugged the router back into the modem did you plug it into the WAN port? Did you use the same Cat5 Cable you used before?

 
yes and yes....

i tell the modem that the "PPPoE" is on the computer (the router basically) and set up the PPPoE on the router, and I get a WAN IP, but I cant ping anything or browse
 
If PPPoE is working on the modem then your computer is set for what? DHCP? Fixed IP? Try setting the router for the same as what works on the computer.
