I need help linksys wireless router basic setup

well I have ADSL that works fine. and i bought a Linksys wireless router so i could share the internet connection in my house and im tryin to set it up..i ran through with the cd and
the physical connections are fine i think but the router
does not find the internet connection ..i rebooted and
everything but the problem persists
When the router is connected i cant get on the internet nor access the modem.
The connection type is PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
i cant get into the routers web based setup
and because the setup process can't complete without
getting that connection it wont run diagnostics
if i runthe cd again as well it tells me the router is not supported or sumthin

Do you have your computer connected to the router? Can you get to 192.168.1.1 that should be the address for setup. If you know all of your configuration settings you can go in and manually setup the connection. Depending on the type of modem you have it could be taking care of the PPPoA itself and then you want to set your linksys to connect using DHCP.
