Your computer isn't getting an IP Address for a reason.
Check link lights first. If you have link lights, you should be able to get a DHCP address
If that doesn't work, manually set your IP Address to 192.168.1.123, subnetmask to 255.255.255.0, default gateway to 192.168.1.1, and dns servers as: 192.102.249.3, 192.102.249.9
Once that's set you should be able to get out.
If not, try pinging the router (ping 192.168.1.1) You should get replies. If not, it's a cable issue.

I agree with Splooge's diagnosis. The PPPoE software problem is a seperate issue and probably just a coincidence. If you arn't getting an IP address from your router then your router has a problem. Check to see if you have any activity or status lights. Most 'over the counter' routers will have a WAN and/or LAN connection or status light. Make sure they're on. If not... your cables are loose or bad or maybe the device on the other end is dead.
