The problem is that your computer is not using a PPPOE connection to the router.

It looks like you're using Vista, so go into the Control Panel, then Network & Sharing Center. On the left, click on Manage Network Connections. On the next screen, you'll have an icon for a Broadband connection. Delete that. The one you are using is Local Area Connection. You may also have icons for wireless or 1394 connections. You can ignore them if you're hardwired into the router.
 
Remove the Pipex Homecall broadband connection as well. Anytime you create a new connection in Vista, it will try to create a dial-up/PPPOE connection. Gone are the days of XP with 4 different icons for Local Area Connection.

After you remove the Pipex one, double-click the Local Area Connection icon and click on the Details button. You should notice that your IPv4 address is something like 192.168.0.x where x is some number. If not, close that window and click on the Diagnose button. Vista will check the connection and give you some options. There will be choice there that says something like repairing the adapter or something. Choose that. Once you get a good IP from the router (which is one that starts with 192.168.x.x, most likely), you should be good to go, assuming the router has a good connection out.
