He does not need to use PPPOE unless he's acting as a gateway for a
dsl connection. If he's just connecting to a wireless network, he
wouldn't need pppoe. I've never seen a router use pppoe at least none
I've run across yet.

Subject: re: wireless network connection
Thanks for the help with the windows all. I went into the network
preferences, and went into the airport settings at least i think
that is where I was at. I think the biggest problem that I am
having is in understanding all the computer language in the
options. For example, there is a list of tabs with all these
different kinds of networks. Things like, PPPOE, TCP/IP,
appleTok, proxies and airport ID. When I look at my airport
status, it says that it is on, but not connected to the network.
I wonder if I could be entering through the wrong security key
type. I am doing PPPOE. It complains that it can't find the
PPPOE server when I tell it to connect. How could I tell what
kind of key I am using? the key is just a random asortment of
letters and numbers. It is a network server for a small office.
I am not aware exactly what being the first network on the list
means? I can say that there is definitely more than one network
in my area. We are in an office building with tuns of them.
