Well, I _am_ running the PPPoE via the router now. I just let the IP

If you're doing double NAT, you may have problems with any programs or
services that require port forwarding in the router. It will go
through the router when properly configured, but not the NAT DSL
modem, which probably doesn't have port forwarding or redirection.

 You have to have a PPPoE client running
somewhere.

Yeah. Thx Jeff, so far with the modem in 'I'm only a modem' mode all
seem well, no swapping to report as of yet.

It's called "bridge mode" in most modems.
