cannot connect to PPPoE

[johnn]

i am using a Windows Professional XP based notebook, yesterday i went to a
hotel, and where they use ADSL modem to go Internet, and username and
passsword are required to go thru the ADSL. So they plug my notebook to the
ADSL modem and try to connect to Internet. Unfortnately, after clicking
'creat new connection, it is find that the choice of 'Using PPPoE' is
disable and cannot be selected. It seems everyone using XP Professional
are ok exept me ! I was wondering anyone can help me and show me how to
enable this function ? Many thanks
