What kind of dsl modem do you have? Is it a speedstream of some
sort or is it a 2wire variant?
What is the contents of /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
The newer speedstream modems (if you can call them that) can retain
credentials. Have you tried connecting to it and seeing what
settings are in there?
Do you have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 ? What is the
contents of that file? Have you tried a simple 'ifconfig ppp0 up'?
Try seeing the settings of your config via the main menu System >
Administration > Network.
Try this as well 'system-config-network' What does it mention (if
anything) about ppp0?
