1. In Networking, check "obtain an IP address automatically". This means the ISP uses DHCP, so follow Lynn's advice on pump.
2. Install and run a custom app that the ISP provides. This probably means they use PPPoE.
Once you know with a bit more certainty which type of connection you are trying for, you can review your configuration for errors (and get help here, after providing the customary details about what you try and how it fails, as you started to do with the PPPoE attempt).

Protocols and equipment do not necessarily mean the same thing. I'm a firm believer that the only reason any ISP uses PPPoE is to try and leverage the extra money out of a static ip connection....

Is pump, your interfaces file, and shorewall all configured to get a dhcp lease? IIRC, the default Bering image is setup for a dhcp cable connection by default (granted that the correct driver is loaded for your hardware/NIC).
