Timothy is correct, I use pppoe for my connection at home. What you need 
to do (this explains from the command line view) is the following:

adsl-setup

Answer all of the questions. Remember that eth0 is your first ethernet 
card, do you have more than one? Do you know which one is which? This is 
important for you to get the connection properly functioning. Next, make 
sure you answer the last question concerning bringing up ppp0 at boot 
time with a "yes". Assuming that you want to do that. ^_^
