Easily fixed; as root just type "apt-get install pppconfig" [without the
quotes of course] into a terminal. Once installed just run it in the same
terminal as root.

Thanks,
But the pppconfig package cannot be found on the cd and I cannot connect to the
internet to install it. Is there way to connect to the internet without
pppconfig?

The catch-22. How can you install something from the internet if you
can't connect to the internet. Been there, done that.
Solution. Use another distro (like knoppix) that comes with pppconfig
and download the ppconfig.deb file and put it somewhere on the hard
drive, then you can use dpkg to install it when you reboot.

Or, as someone has already hinted at, the OP could boot into the Ubuntu
partition he already has installed and then *chroot* into the debian
partition and run apt-get as normal using the internet connection from
ubuntu.
