As far as I understand, PPPoE stands for the following concept: there is regular ethernet connection between the box and the modem, and the PPP traffic is wrapped in ethernet packets, so my point at ppp connection is my box, and not my modem. Thus, the computer needs to know the modem's IP. Tell me, what I'm missing.
As for the IP of the modem - it's not relevant - "PPPoE" means "PPP over Ethernet", i.e. the modem and the host interface through which you talk to it doesn't need an IP address configured since the data is passed over "raw" ethernet packets.
Thank you, L.
