Using PPPOE with an Apple Airport Express

Oct 27, 2007 10:59PM PDT

I am currently using an Apple PowerBook G4 (the PowerPC one) and to connect to the internet i have a PPPoE connection that only works with an ethernet cable. I have tried everything to use the PPPoE with my airport but so far nothing has worked. Whenever i open network connections and tick 'use PPPoE with the airport' a message pops up saying that the airport base station has to be configured in bridge mode to work. But i have no clue how to do that. I have opened airport admin utility but there is no 'bridge mode' there.
Anyone know what the problem is?

It claims such but you don't share all the needed gritty details so I can't tell where it ran off the rails. No make/model of the DSL or cable modem so I can't tell if it's some other issue.
