Unable to establish DSL connection

[nkae]

Hey all,


I have set WAN to 'bridged' mode for my D-Link DSL-G604T so that individual devices can connect directly to the internet.

A problem I now face is not being able to connect a computer running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to the internet via DSL.

The computer connects to the D-Link DSL-G604T router via wireless network connection - which is established, but I am unable to connect to DSL and I don't know why. The DSL connection doesn't even list under the network icon at the top right.

Does anyone know how whats going on?

I think I have come to a solution.. Update NetworkManager to 0.8.2... Apparantly it supports PPPoE over wifi.. exactly what I need. I will return and mark as solved if I get it working.
