So getting a router should fix this problem? I actually ahve one from when I had cable in GJ. I'll dust it off and see if that helps. Do you have any tips for setting up the router? I'm a newbie when it comes to this kinda stuff.
The router will be doing the pppoe/a for you so the problem should go away. Thats assuming the router supports it. It should.

Its odd that only the froum works and nothing else. If you can ping an address such as .com from the command line when using pppoe its probablly something else keeping you from viewing webpages. Command should be typed as such "ping .com" and you can replace .com with anything. If you get a responce your good, if not hit control-c on the keyboard to stop it.
