Re: networking.

I'm pretty sure this is a forum for discussing HP ProCurve kit :) Is your router an HP product?

If things work when the PC is connected directly to the modem rather than when connected to the router which is then connected to the modem, it suggests your PC is configured to talk PPPoE (IIRC) directly to the ISP over the modem.

When you want to use the router, you have to configure the router to do the PPPoE stuff, and your pc to be a simple PC getting its IP address etc from the router via DHCP.

That should all be explained in the manual(s) for the router.
