Hmm but I had already rebooted a few times and I have not edited rc.conf.
I dont know what is going on and I don't really want to reboot it remotely 
again.
Are there any other settings that could affect PPPoE? Hoping this is a one off 
but I don't think so.
I am using 1.0.4 by the way.

Thanks
Michael Knill
