Just got this... may be relevant to your case, dman. It's not to mine,
though. Sorry, Game Wizard.

If your DSL is anything like mine, you don't have to. I have all my
machines and my modem on the same hub, and use pptp to connect my ancient
486 laptop to the 'net, and then use masquerading, all over the same
local
network. I have no idea if this works with pppoe, since that's not how my
adsl system is supposed to work.
