ADSL modem not connecting to WRT54G linksys wireless router

Hi all ,


I have been hitting my head against the walls for several days now .
My equipment is as follows :
1 speedtouch 546v6 DSL broadband modem ( from "romtelecom" if familiar )
1 RJ-11 port & 4 Ethernet ports .

1 WRT54G linksys wireless router .

My configuration :

PC ( Eth port ) ----- >(Ethernet Port) SpeedTouch 546v6 Modem ( DSL ) ------> ISP


This **** works fine after installing the drivers and running the step-by-step instruction that came with the modem .





My desired configuration


PC(Wireless) -->(Wireless)WRT54G WirelessRouter(Ethernet)----->(Ethernet)SpeedTouch 546v6 DLS modem(RJ 11)------> ISP

If i was somehow unclear with my diagram ... I need the damn PC to connect to the internet through the wirless router .


I've configured the wirless router to connect through PPPoE ( user and password ) . When i click the connect button it tries to connect but nothing happens . I mean the WAN interface does not recieve an IP , and the status is disconnected .
I tried turinng off DHCP on my router and still no work .


Can anyone tell what settings should i consider on my DSL modem ?
VCI... Bridge mode or Routed PPP mode ... And if enabling DHCP on my modem
has any influence ... ( my opinion is that it shouldn't but then again i'd happilly paint the room red if someone were to tell me that's the way i can get this **** working ) .

I have heard that bridge mode is appropriate with these modems.

If you turned off your DHCP, make sure your computer is set up with a static IP and the router is listed as your default gateway.

Also, when you set up the router, your computer should be connected to it through a LAN ethernet port. I assume you did, but I mentioned it just in case...
