I don't know much about your model since I have an Alcatel, but after a quick glance in google it seems yours is not much different. AFAICT those modems have integrated just about everything (firewall, NAT, DHCP server, ...), including a web interface for nice configuration. You just need to point my browser to its IP (factory default seems to be 192.168.1.1) and you should be able to configure everything, including username and password for the PPPoE connection. There is usually also a "bridge mode", where the modem just works as a bridge and I have to setup everything in my computer. I think the first option is simpler. Regards, Andrei P.S.
