I tried what you suggested by removed the network bridge earlier.
However, it still doesn't solve the problem. As a matter in fact, I
regress since now I can't access the router from the other computer
that's working. After I restore the network bridge, I can access the
router via http with the other computer. As for the computer that has
the problem, nothing changes.
I begin to suspect that the problem is cause by the fact that I can't
do a connection with PPPoE miniport. I don't know why it won't make
the connection.
