POINT TO POINT OVER ETHERNET protocol is a rather old and rarely used interface are you SURE you need to use that? Most DSL providers have gone to DHCP/Dynamic IP.
In any event, that's pretty much all you should need for the WAN config on the router, the LAN config is entirely up to you.
I run into a few obsessed with getting the best out of the connection and they'll disable the onboard router and more.

Hey
Im pretty sure it PPPoE. it is an inbuilt modem and i use the internet connection through username, password.
Thanks!
Hey bob,
Using mountain lion right now. Not much aware of the modem. got to just connect the ethernet cable, to register and use it through PPPoE. Hope it helps.
Thanks!
Sorry that it's slow going. Details may help. For this device I have to nod to the usual of latest firmware, defaults and then only what's needed for it to work for the ISP and secuirity short of hiding the SSID (lots of posts why).
I read you have an Airport and some DSL modem which has it's own router. Can be fun to get going.
