Default Don't know how to start broadband connection

I have an ADSL modem that uses a network card. It is using PPPoE. My Windows
ME detected my network card, but it does not show that I have a modem! What
should I do!!?? SOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How should I connect to the internet by broadband in Windows ME? Dial Up
Networking? Hyperterminal? WHAT!!?? I'm using Windows XP Home Edition at the
same time and now I'm using it to surf the net now. But I want my solution
right now!!!!
If convenient please send ya solution to

Your ISP should have provided you with a CD that had some software on it. It
probably contains WinPoET which seems to be the standard. Install it, fill
in your user/pass, and connect. Your DSL needs authentication - in the form
of PPPoE - and that's not natively supported in Windows ME IIRC. Truthfully,
the easiest way would be to use a router that supported it - your ISP did
not provide you with one? At the very least they should have supplied you
with a CD with the software on it. You'll want/need to install that.
