    Hi, I did post this in the desktop forum, but that was because I honestly forgot that this forum existed.

    So I have a modem (actiontec 1000), and a router (Dlink WBR-2310). The connection is DSL. I have the router setup to go through PPPoA with a username and pass.

    When I am not using the router (direct PC-modem connection) I get internet fine. But not when I am using the router (PC (through ethernet) to router (through ethernet) to modem).

    I have the router on DHCP settings to give me an IP. I can get to both the router and the modems setup pages (192.168.1.1, and 192.168.0.1 respectivly).

    I don't know what the problem could be. Thanks for reading this and helping :).

    Well working now great.

    I think it was that I needed to turn on dynamic routing in the modem.
