My ISP does this too (well, I have a static IP, but this shouldn't change the

Here is my /etc/ifconfig.pppoe0:
chassiron#/home/bouyer>cat /etc/ifconfig.pppoe0 
create
-link1
!pppoectl -e le1 pppoe0
!sleep 1
!pppoectl pppoe0 myauthproto=chap myauthname=<mylogin> myauthsecret=<mypasswd> hisauthproto=none max-auth-failure=0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 up
