Ping says “network unreachable... 100% packet loss”

The PPOE is set up on the router.

There is also a section called “client list” that
shows an assigned IP Address, Host Name, and MAC
Address for the windows machine plugged into the
router.

There is also a section where you can assign 4 fixed
Ips to 4 different MAC addresses.  Is this what I want
to do.

modem.  www.essex1.com

It worked with wireless when I was using the netgear
wireless router.  It is working now connected with a
cable to my gigafast ee400-r router.

Yes, on both.

I should also mention that there is also a built in
ether port in my lanparty ut motherboard.  But I am
using my old card until I can update my system.  

Thanks again for all of your help.
