Wireless Router on DSL PPPOE problem..

[vickyarora]

Hello - I recently got AT&T dsl and am using my old Zhone 6411 adsl modem. The setup works perfectly when connected directly to the modem, but when I introduce a wireless router (levelOne WBR3406TX), I run into a bunch of problems. The computer is able to see the wireless network.. however in local mode only. It cannot connect to the internet. I have gone through the basic setup to ensure that the modem is set to PPPOE with the right user name and password. However, the System Status screen shows the below:
IP Address 0.0.0.0 --PPPOE
Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0
Gateway 0.0.0.0
Domain Name Server 0.0.0.0 -- Unreachable
Connection Time --

I know both the modem and the router work well with each other, since I have been using this for over two years until two weeks ago..since we recenty moved.. earlier the tech support guy was very knowledgeable and walked me through the entire setup process.. no such luck with AT&T though...Please help

Your "alleged" modem is a Modem/Router combo.

You second Router should be configured like this.

Thanks... I am still confused though...I think the "Second Step" from the write-up applies to me.. right? I will try when I get home and post the results.
