Are you on a PPPoA or PPPoE connection?
If you are on a PPPoA connection unless it also supports PPPoE (not
likely in Europe) You can not connect using the MN-100, MN-500, or MN-700.
Also since you are not in one of the two supported countries namely the
USA & Canada, Microsoft will not support you.
I know nothing about your ISP because I only know the major ISP's in the
USA & Canada.
So if you are on a PPPoE connection (they don't do that very often in
Europe from what I've heard) Configure the MN-700 to do your PPPoE
connection & uninstall any third party software, but if it's a PPPoA
connection that doesn't support PPPoE the hardware will never work for you.
