All DSL connections use PPPoE for authentication and cable uses either a statically assigned IP or a dynamically assigned one (99% of all cases) after authenticating your modem's MAC Address to the network. The routers are set to dynamic by default as this is the most popular configuration, but for you, you'd need to know that DSL uses PPPoE in the first place to set it up properly as you finally did. This address: 192.168.2.3 is a computer on your internal network, probably your computer that you are using and it is probably getting blocked because you have a virus on it trying to send crap out to the net.
