you really don't need all that (pppoe, kinternet, blah) if you use the ethernet port, the router has a dhcp server in it, so configure your lan card for dhcp auto detect and point it at the router.

I did try that.
I configured my PC as DHCP client and I do get IP address (192.168.1.2) from router, and that router IP from LAN side is gateway for PC, but I am
not able to connect to my ISP when router is in
pppoe mode. If I switch to "bridge mode" I am able to connect to ISP, but that is exactly the way I don't wont to connect. I would like that router takes care about authentification etc...
OT:
I was able to connect in bridge mode, in Win using connection wizard, in Linux using YaST connection wizard, and using rp-pppoe, but I would like to use pppoe mode...
P.S.
One more question, is it possible that ISP blocks that kind of connection and forces to use only modem with one client for this service package and multiple clients connections for more expensive package?? I am aware of ICS but that requires one machine to be up so the other machine can access internet...
Thak you for your response,
Greetings
