Hmm, I don't see how I missed your post.
To answer your question, the Earthlink supplied DSL Modems store your Username and Password so that you don't have to use any Icon in Windows to log on. If you prefer to use the PPPoE in the Computer instead of the PPPoE in the DSL Modem that is a personal choice but there is a procedure to clear out the saved settings in the Modem by placing it into Bridge Mode so it doesn't block or interfere with the Computer trying to log in after the Modem has already done so.
