so what should I do now.
PPPoE settings are stored in a file named "provider" or "dsl-provider" by default. You can find this file in /etc/ppp/peers/
pppoeconf is not foolproof and the ncurses interface blocks off useful error messages. Occasionally it generates syntactically wrong config files too. So configure as usual with pppoeconf and then try starting pppoe manually with $ pon dsl-provider
Hopefully this will give you some kind of error message indicating where the connection is failing. You can also use the command $ plog for further analysis.
If you make some changes and want to try again do $ poff -a to clear all ppp connections before trying to connect again.
Go thru man-pages for plog/pon/poff
