On my system I have adsl on eth0 and a LAN on eth1
in /etc/conf.d/net
# For rp-pppoe all the interface needs to be told is to come up
iface_eth0="up"
# The -N option tells DHCPd not to clobber /etc/ntp.conf
dhcpcd_eth0="-N"
# To be used on the second interface (LAN)
iface_eth1="192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
# Ethernet card connected to ADSL modem
ETH='eth0'
USER='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
DNSTYPE=SERVER
PEERDNS=yes
DEFAULTROUTE=yes
fix /etc/ppp/{ch,p}ap-secrets to have the correct values too.
I haven't read the docs in a while but I have learned that you DO need
to bring up the ethernet card but you can NOT give it an address. My
ADSL modem gives me an address via DHCP. "/etc/init.d/rp-pppoe start"
brings up the modem, sets the ethernet card up, adds a firewall, and
fixes the routing tables. I then enable masquerading.
