First of all: make sure all boxes (including router) are in the same subnet,
otherwise they will not be able to communicate.

Next: PPPoATM is only nescecarry to communications between router and ISP,
not on your LAN.

My suggestion is to create a network first (so every box can png every other
box) and then concern about your internet connection. There are several
howto's on how to create a SOHO network. I suggest you try them first.
