Try sudo poff -a to stop other running pppoe process.
Goto System>Administration>Networking and see if the eth0 is active,
Deactivate all other connections including the wireless one.
Click on the Ethernet connection (Properties) tab and, in the
interface properties, enter the connection settings -
Configuration : Static Ip address
IP address : 192.168.1.3 (assuming your wireless connection is default)
Subnet mask: (it fills up automatically when you click there)
Gateway address : 192.168.1.1
you can also enter the DNS given by your service provider.


Try sudo pppoeconf and it should work. . .
