new router issues

I am having trouble setting up my linksys WRT54G wireless router to connect to my DSL connection.  It is a PPPoE connection, and although I enter my username and password in the setup process I still have no luck.  I did notice that the modem and the router have the same IP address (192.168.1.1).  I tried changing the router's IP to 192.168.0.1 (as linksys suggests), but still with the same results (unable to connect).  Also, even though it is a PPPoE connection, I've basically had to sign in once when I set it up.  It acts as an always on connection, and I just open Internet Explorer to access the internet.  That got me thinking that I had to set up a connection in the Internet Explorer Tools\Internet Options.  So I did that, it connected fine, but when I went to open Internet Explorer, it acted like I wasn't connected!  I have an older Dimension 4400 (about 4 years old I think) with a D-Link wireless network card, and my modem for my DSL connection is a Netopia Cayman 3300 series (this info may be irrelevant to my problem, but just in case...).  I hope someone out there can help me, as Linksys tech support is basically no help.  Thanks.

    I figured it out.  My modem was still set up for PPPoE, so I disabled that and voila!
