PPPoE Setup

[Guest]

OK, here's the deal....I'm trying to setup an ADSL connection to SBC Yahoo! and it keeps telling me that it can't configure the PPPoE service. I called tech support and they said to setup the connection manually. When I tried to do this the wizard would not let me click the radio button for PPPoE. The tech guy said there was a problem with my registry and to call Microsoft to get it fixed. When I tried this the guy said that he couldn't help me and to try a newsgroup. So, hopefully one of you guys out there know more about this than I do and can help me out of this jam I'm in.
Thanks in Advance,

Thanks much for the quick reply. I'll be sure to try it as soon as I can. It looks like this is the right stuff though.
