Not if there's more than one machine on the LAN and you're using the
PPPoE client (and DHCP server) on the modem.

My DSL-300 assigns me 192.168.0.2 when it can't connect to Iinet.
Possibly you could go to the modem's web server at http://192.168.0.1
and click "connect" - that should either force it to connect properly or
at least let you see why it's having troubles connecting.
