Usually there are some settings to work with, but it should com up on
you network as 192.168.0.1 and be accessible via a web browser. You
mentioned PPoE, and that usually means getting your username and PW into
the router settings. What type of router is it?

How hard is a router to set up? I think we've got one lying around from

when we were setting up DSL, but we never got it to work. Is it just a=20
matter of replacing the hub, or are there all kinds of craaazy settings=20
to mess with?

Huge thanks for the reply! :)
