Best way to test the bridge mode with PPPoE is utilize the URL and put in the bridge mode.
After the unit in bridge mode , connect your PC to the Zyxel 660R and check the ip from command line (CMD , ipconfig)
If ip shoes 169.x then Zyxel 660R is properly in bridge mode.
Next is to use XP PPP Dial up

If you can connect and surf the internet it should work. If this does not work you will need to call your ISP and work with this setup.
Once this works , THEN you can install your router and provide user/pass under basic setting of the router settings and should work
