Well, that may well be the problem. You may need to use some special
extra settings in the PPPoE packets, or a fixed MAC address or something
like that.
Alternately, it could be an issue with your use of the router, rather
than a PPPoE issue directly.

That depends. Is this a "bridge mode" device, or does it handle the
PPPoE layer internally?
Most modern DSL modems do all the PPPoE work themselves, and expect you
to connect to a DHCP server on them before they activate the link.
Annoying, but workable.
A quick search shows a bunch of Zyair 2000 wireless router devices, but
none that claim to feature ADSL support, so I can't comment directly.
How is this configured under Windows? From that we should be able to
derive the operating mode correctly.
