Most DSL connections require PPOE authentication and your Router will need to
be configured to do the authentication since it is now between the PC's and
the modem. Once you get your router to connect properly your PC's sholdn't
have any problem.

Thanks so much for the fast reply. Now my question is what is a PPOE
authentication and how do i do it? Thanks

You'll need to read your router documentation for that. Sorry. PPOE is just
the standard authentication protocal used for Dial up and DSL authentication.
In general it is usually found on the internet connection page of your router
config.
