Linksys WRT54G/Wireless broadband question

    I just have another Linksys WRT54G/Wireless broadband question that
    I hope someone can answer.

    Basicially, I have a fixed wireless internet connection which works fine.

    I then got a WRT54G and connected the internet connection into the
    WAN port with my PC connected to port 1.

    Now when I access the connection from a WiFi laptop it all works fine but
    access from my PC can be a bit hit and miss and the PPPOE login screen
    pops up every few minutes despite having the router set to use PPPOE with
    the username/password.

    Is there any additional setting I've left out?

    If you have fixed wireless then you shouldn't be using PPPoE.

    Odd, PPPoE is mostly used for DSL, not fixed wireless.
