PPPoE Connection with DSL router (bridged)

[Marty]

I'm trying to get a client connected to our home office
thru the cisco VPN client. She has a DSL modem/router.
Her ISP account is PPPoE. Her OS is Win2k Pro. Problem:
VPN not connecting because the Modem/router is providing
NAT and not passing through the VPN conneciton info.
SOlution from ISP: Set the router to bridge and set the
network configuration on the PC to PPPoE. I Can't figure
out how to do that in Windows 2000. Any assistance would
be greatly appreciated.

Assuming the user has the Winpoet software installed, it may have to be done
thru that software. The better solution is to purchase a $40 Linksys, Dlink,
Netgear, etc, DSL/Cable router. Those devices allow mutliple connections as
well as control for VPN passthru.
