Setting Up ADSL Router

[ForbiddenSword]

Hi. Sorry if this in the wrong forum, but I didnt know where to put it.

I would like to know how to use my adsl router with linux:

http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4109e5f20585eabc273fc0a87f990722/Product/View/XH1149

My ISP uses PPPoA only, and the router settings ( for XP ) are :
Dns Suffix: none
Router I.P. 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.2
Dns Server: 202.27.184.3
Alternate Dns Server: 202.27.184.5

Using these settings, and the driver from the hardware manufacturer, (using dhcpcd) how can I setup my router?

Are you connecting to the router via USB or ethernet?

Are you running Knoppix off the CD or have you installed to hard disk?

If you are using ethernet, to be honest, I'd be kind of surprised if it didn't all just start working by itself, thanks mostly to the miracle of DHCP.

What happened when you tried?

It's probably somewhere in the menus as well, but try "sudo pppoeconf" from a command prompt.

I load Knoppix from a boot cd, so I use expert mode to load my routers driver. I believe it is connected by usb, and when I run the driver, I think it detects this....using DHCPCD makes the lights flash, yet when I try to access the internet from Mozilla or the other program ( forgot the name ) it dosen't work. I can't configure it from the PPPOE one, for two reasons, 1 being it dosent find something when I try, and two is that my ISP only supports PPPOA. My router is configured perfectly for windows, but for some reason it dosent work on linux. If somebody could give me a few instructions to set it up, that would be great.

What is the output of the following commands?

I meant the output when running Knoppix.

Oh Sorry, I'll do that in an hour. Im doing a download at the moment. But that information should help anyway.
