And if you keep having trouble just get a router. It will save you a lot of trouble in the end as it will be doing the authentication with Quest and as long as your computer pulles an ip over DHCP from the router it will work fine with linux or windows or anything really.
Yes, PPPoE works (kinda). It lets me bring up the forum, but nothing else (which isn't totally bad).

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.
