Alright, I haven't posted here in a really long time, but I just messed up my home network while trying to change stuff. I have a Linksys WRT54G router and a Speedstream 5200 modem that I use to connect to a DSL line. When I first set it up I had to call tech support because these two really don't like to work together out of the box and I don't know much about networks.

I was trying to change some settings and I reset the router not even thinking about all the set up it took originally. And now, of course, it doesn't work any more. I remember the solution originally involved changing the router to PPPoE, but just changing that in the settings doesn't fix anything. I can't remember what else I had to do. Any help would really really be appreciated because as of right now only one computer can be online at a time and it's a pain.
