    The modem should get those settings from the PPPoE login, if you have entered the username and password properly.

    Does your friends old modem still work? (I assume it does, but it's always worth checking). Does the Ping tool on the Line Test page in the Linksys admin interface work? What ISP is your friend getting the DSL from?
