there are a few variables you need to take into effect here:
1) what kind of modem do you have?
2) do you use pppoe, pppoa, or static routing?
3) what version of rp-pppoe do you run?

here's a bit more detail, and how i've gotten several people running, even
though we don't technically support linux at all

1) modem: you need to know your dsl modem's internal IP, if it has one at
all.  this is important if you run a pier-to-pier network(well, it was for
myself at home, and for a few others i've spoken to, but not everyone, you
know, YMMV)
2) is you are using pppoe, then read on.  if not, i can't help you, cause
that's all i know how to do
3) if you are using rp-pppoe, then read on.  first and foremost, make sure
you installed the pppoe daemon.  next, if you are using the version that
came installed with 7.2, then stop.  run:  rpm -e rp-pppoe  .get rid of that
shitty version.  then, go to www.roaringpenguin.com and get the most recent
version of the rpm, but DO NOT install it yet.  now, run netconf, and get
rid of the IP and all the info for your nic, but don't worry, we'll put it
back in a minute.  run "ifconfig eth0 down" and then "ifconfig etho up" and
then "ifconfig".  if your IP is still shown, you might just wanna go ahead
and reboot.  anyway, make sure you have no active network connections.  then
install the new rp-pppoe rpm.  run adsl-setup, and then try to connect.
after that, put your IP back in and it should work.  anyway, this is not
guaranteed, but i've gotten a LOT of people up with this, myself included.
