Nope, never mind it is PPPoE in the router!
I talked to my Mother-In-Law and got some more information on what the issue was with the router.
It appears that she would lose the Internet connection from time-to-time and had to unplug and plug in the router to get it back. This is basically the same thing that I had to do with my router. The solution I found for this was to enable PPPoE on the router vs in the DSL modem.
Again, given that it is a D-Link router it took me a few extra minutes to figure it all out, but I got it all rigged up and working.
I did find it interesting that I wasn't able to access the DSL modem via the router.
I am able to do this on my home network as well as the network I setup at my Mom's place (which is basically a copy of my home network setup). I guess it must be a D-Link thing, possibly having to do with the Subnet configuration.
Nope, doesn't appear to be the subnet. So that is pretty annoying, but oh well.
I grilled steaks, asparagus, and vegetable shish-kabobs for dinner.
My Mother-In-Law wanted her steak well-done. I haven't cooked a steak to well-done in quite a while, Gina and I eat ours these days close to medium. So unfortunately, all the steaks were closer to medium, luckily one of them was bigger and half of it was thinner, so it was pretty much well-done.
Using my Father-In-Law's grill was a little bit of a challenge, at first I couldn't get it to light. Then there is the issue that it has a different set of hotspots than my grill back home. So the bamboo skewers that had the vegetable shishkabobs on them were burning on the ends but the vegetables were not cooking as quickly.
Oh well, I need to get to bed.

Is sort of what I feel like I guess.
As previously stated I setup a wireless router for my Mom.
I just finished reconfiguring the router that @ my In-Laws' place. I need to ask them if they have been losing the Internet connection or just the wireless connection.
I didn't get a chance to find that part out before I started working on it. However, I did notice that even though I was (and still am) sitting about a foot away from the router my laptop could not get onto the network.
I had to download the DLink manual, as I am completely unfamiliar with their interface and what their default passwords for the routers are.
It is possibly that I have mentioned in the past that I am a Linksys person. However, at the time that my Mother-In-Law was looking for routers I had just experienced a major problem with a Linksys router and the D-Link was on sale. So I told her that she might want to get it, the Dallas office has loved their's for years and I know a few others that sing D-Link's praises.
After messing around in their interface and what not, I am still a Linksys fan. Sure the actions you can do within the interfaces are almost identical and I might be biased due to the fact that I have years of experience using Linksys' interface. But I don't care, I like Linksys. I will always try to buy Linksys, though occasionally I think they value their name a little too much.
Well, I need to go and start up the grill and get dinner started.
Laterz.
