You are going to need to make your modem bridge the DSL connection to your router instead of nating it, Then set your router to login to the pppoe. I'm not sure how to on that modem but hopefully someone here knows.

Here's what "Bridge Mode" looks like,on the Motorola 2210.

He needs to change that to Bridge (like the Pic) and setup his d-link router for a WAN connection type of PPPoE with his DSL Username and Pass.

said by wayjac :

When you set the 2210 for "PPP is on the computer." does the internet light flash constantly?

said by wayjac :

That's one of the "quirks" of the modem
The PPPoE client runs when its not needed
One way to stop the flashing internet light is bridge mode.
If you look at the modems log it will have messages generated by the modems overzealous PPPoE client

said by KrK :

Problem I had when I bridged the modem is that I couldn't get logged in on the router. IE when I had the modem bridged, I had no internet connectivity at all.

said by wayjac :

One thing I've found out the hard way that needs close attention............
When switching PPPoE clients always the first task is to end the current PPPoE session. If you don't you could end up looking at the att username/password tool page

said by d_l :

That's more than a quirk. It is a defective design that forced a recall of certain serial numbers due to premature modem failures from the excessive heat.

I don't have the exact screenshot as I am at home.

said by Mountaineer1 :

I thought at&t kept you chained up in the basement. How did you get out?

said by David :

only other option at that point would be to bridge the modem. (prior at top, before my suggestion). If putting the modem in bridge mode doesn't work it's at the router or PC at that point. The modem's interface would be out of the picture as it would be disabled.

You can still hook directly to the modem and set you PC IP to 192.168.1.1 ande Netmaks to 255.255.255.0 and goto 192.168.1.254 to see the modem config page and DSL Stats.

Im wasn't talking about the modem holding back traffic in that mode just that if need (to see DSL Stats) you could still connect to it.

said by TSI Gabe :

I bet you DSLR uses UDP pings and not ICMP, so you would need to allow that as well.

PPPoE on the computer is the correct setting to use with your router.

said by ff1324 :

Notice the text on the screen capture that "Bridged" mode is for non-PPPoE networks.
