Tell your neighbor to go to www.speedguide.net and go to the PATCHES page
and follow the
instructions for the PPPoE connection...  download the file and install...
my DSL connection speed went from 450 Kbps to over 1200 Kbps.

This is the file you need for DSL using PPPoE:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/sguide_tweak_98_pppoe.zip  unzip the file,
RIGHT Click on the .INF file that it makes, select INSTALL (it will look
like nothing happened but it did) shut down and reboot.....

Here is a good speed test, run it a few times BEFORE and after you do this
patch: http://computingcentral.msn.com/topics/bandwidth/speedtest.asp

Let me know how it works for you...
