Netgear MR814v2, AirPort, and Yahoo DSL issues

When the guy said passive, he didnt mean the Mac does the PPPoE. He meant originally, the modem is setup like most new DSL modems with a built in NAT and built-in PPPoE so its just plug and use. You have to turn the modem on a bridging/passing mode so you can use your router to do the PPPoE if you so choose. This is how mine is done with my BellSouth DSL.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed he had configured the access point to do simple bridging rather than routing. [Something supported by a few vendors, like Linksys. Though personally I prefer dedicated wireless-ethernet bridges like the Buffalo TX or linksys WET since the're smaller.]
