Just got new PC have a ZyXEL prestige 630 ADSL. When i try and use connection
wizzard on new PC it will only let me make a PPPoE connection when I need a
PPPoA connection. How do I get round this problem.
 
Looked at setup guide on ZyExel site?
It sounds though you may be using default win drivers.

What is PPPoE:3Com (Or what has 3Com done to the PPPoE protocol)?
Simply put 3Com has created a proprietary version of the PPPoE protocol.
It is only used when your 3Com DSL modem is set to PPPoA mode. When this
happens it speaks PPPoA to your ISP, but then speaks PPPoE to your
computer (That is why they bundle a PPPoE client with their DSL modems).
3Com has changed these two values:

ETHER_TYPE value for PPPoE Discovery phase: Changed from 0x8863 to 0x3c12

ETHER_TYPE value for PPPoE Session phase: Changed from 0x8864 to 0x3c13

Will this effect the use of a router? Yes. A few routers now support
this new version only used with 3Com DSL modems in PPPoA mode.
