I had the exact same problem with my Dlink router, my Linksys worked fine all the time, but with the Dlink, I donno whats going on. Anyway, most of the time a reset of the router worked, like everyone else said. But sometimes it just WOULD NOT WORK I dont understand what happened to it but I had to go in and fiddle with the internal setting quite a bit before something finally clicked. Try and set a static IP and then make the DMZ of the router that IP, dont leave it like this but its worth a shot. Also you said you needed to install some PPPoE software? well with most routers all you have to do is set up the WAN part to connect to a PPPoE server and make it stay connected all the time.
Just a few thoughts, people already covered the main things.
