There used to be MAC registration, but primarily on cable, not DSL.
Even that seems to have gone away in my area.

You might have an IP address conflict, where the router is presenting a
local LAN of 192.168.1.xxx, and the modem is presenting a local LAN of
192.168.1.xxx, so when your router is plugged into the modem, it see the
same subnet on the LAN and WAN sides.

If you plug the PC into the modem, what does a cmd prompt "ipconfig" show
for the IP address?
What does the ipconfig show when the PC is plugged in to the router?

Who is the DSL Vendor?
What is the make and model of the DSL modem?
What is the make and model of the router?
