Sorry, forgot one problem I had when I set it up the first time. The PPPD value in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf was set to NOTFOUND. Edit that file as root and change it to /usr/sbin/pppd. The problem is that rpppoe is dialing your connection (thus the lights), but the thing that actually makes it a network interface (pppd) is not starting. rob
