No. I don't recall having to do any PPPoE setup when I initially set up the
cheapo router, and I definitely didn't do anything like that with my
desktop when I plugged it in.

No, no crossover cables were used. The problem isn't on the switch side,
though... the switch is on the internal side of the router, which is
working fine. The problem is between the router's external interface and
the modem.

I'd be happy to provide any information requested. I'm quite new to *BSD,
but I'm pretty well-versed in Linux, so tell me what you need, and I'll
find it. If you need more information about the box than what I gave at the
end of my first post, let me know.
Thanks...
