I showed you how I looked for pppoe.conf, but you didn't show us how you searched for 'pppoe.conf'. I'm worried that you only looked in a specific directory. :-| Maybe your distribution doesn't even use a file named 'pppoe.conf'! :-| Other than adding "adsl-start" to my 'rc.local', I edited no other files. The 'install' procedure and 'adsl-setup' is all I did. :-| I see that it is difficult for you to view settings whereas you need to reboot a busy system. My system ("firewall") is an old 80486dx33 that I bought a year or so ago for 5 USD. :-) I'm still holding on to these concepts: - RP-PPPOE creates an IPCHAINS ruleset & Red Hat 8.0 uses IPTABLES. i.e. You never end up with 'valid' instructions to the kernel about handling packets with your DSL modem. - eth0 should not have an IP address. ppp0 gets the IP address. Notice that my eth1 device does appear in my 'netstat -nr' report, and that my ppp0 device does.
