Either you can instruct your ubuntu to run ppp daemon or you can run it directly from your router which is preferred.
To run pppoe in your system, Plug in your ethernet, switch on the router and issue following commands, 1. sudo pppoeconf This will configure the connection for first use. Note that you have to use it only once. 2. sudo pon dsl-provider This establishes the connection, and dsl-provider is the connection name, substitute it to what you've given. and finally, 3. sudo poff dsl-provider. closes the connection. 4. pppstats will give you connection information.
