Please have a look at yout /etc/network/interfaces and post it here.

Once pppoeconf is run, and necessary details sent in, you (or any user
who is a member of `dip' group can simply say `pon' to connect.

The console will be free (unlike wvdial).

To disconnect, say `poff'.

pon brings up  the ppp0 interface, which is mapped to  eth0 by the ppp
over ethernet programmes.
