i don't think you're supposed to do that.  see:

http://www.litwindow.com/Knowhow/HowTo/fedora__dsl__1_1.html

generally, you don't need to set the IP of eth0.  it'll get 
an IP from the DSL provider.  another link i found (that linked
back to that one above) said that you should not set gateway 
(default route) for eth0 nor set DNS servers.

although you *could* set DNS servers if you're running bind
or a cacheing nameserver locally.  but that's an elaboration
you should avoid for now.  clear (or comment all) your
/etc/resolv.conf, make sure there's no IP on eth0 and that
there's no default route yet.  then run adsl-setup (it used
to be called rp-pppoe, i think, back when i was using it)
and ifup ppp0.

alternatively, if you've got a router that can handle pppoe
directly (most wifi routers can do this, or even dialup 
automatically), then it would be best to have your router do
that.  less stuff for you to do.  you just provide your auth
credentials to the router setup program and it'll do all the
rest.  but if you do that, you'd then need to configure the
router to either forward specific ports to your internal
server, or put your server on the DMZ.  forwarding specific
ports is much more secure.
