ADSL setup and Cisco 851W

Well, I now have another issue with this router. I have cable access, which is no issue. However, I need to connect this to ADSL. My friend has ADSL (Bell Canada) so we figured it would simply be a matter of setting up the PPPoE on the router. It does not connect. The modem is a speedstream 5200, which we set to 'bridge' mode. With a standard router, the internet works fine. It appears that the PPPoE is not getting out. Does anyone have any susggestions?

Your friend has ADSL
how are you connected to his ADSL modem? Where is his modem? (Hint: it will have to be connected to *his* phone line.)
