I recently set up my pc with routesentry and it works fine but when my mother plugs in her laptop to the router she cant connect to the internet.

any thoughts on how to fix it but i want to keep running routesentry on my pc?

thank you
 
My guess is that you've setup the router in full bridge mode. In short: no one will have Internet access from their PC/network device UNLESS they dial a PPPoE connection from the PC/network device.

The preferable setup would be to configure your router in half-bridge mode, where any connected network device would automatically have Internet access, but it still allows you to dial additional ADSL accounts from other network devices.
Half-bridge mode is simply the router being set up in Router mode, but with PPPoE Passthrough (aka PPPoE relay) switched on.
