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. ^_^
