 To remove the IPADDRESS from eth0, do
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up

Naw, not how many or percentile, but who, specifically,
can help us with a replica of your system.  ;-)

locate pppoe.conf
 on my system reports:
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
/usr/local/rp-pppoe-3.5/configs/pppoe.conf

 I think that 'adsl-setup' should have created a
'pppoe.conf' file.  Where it was placed, I'm not sure.

- I think that the default Red Hat 8.0 kernel uses
   IPTABLES and not IPCHAINS.  
- I think that rp-pppoe_v3.x uses IPCHAINS and not IPTABLES.

- I think that when (if?) adsl-setup creates an IPCHAINS ruleset
   it is useless to your kernel as your kernel is expecting
   an IPTABLES ruleset.  :-|

 Give Ray what he asked for. 
  "uname -a", "ifconfig -a", & "netstat -nr".  
 I've edited some IP addresses.  Here are mine:
