dsl with rp-pppoe ... cannot ping

[wudmx]

hi!
ive just installed gentoo, and now i have no gateway anymore in home. i tried to set up my dsl with rp-pppoe. i compiled the kernel with pppoe-support and i installed pppd-2.4 ...
lsmod gives me the information, that ppp-generic and pppoe is loaded... (but unused). i configured dsl using rp-pppoe... if i type in adsl-start and then adsl-status, i get the information, that link is up and running on interface ppp0. ifconfig gives me three sectors (lo, eth0 and ppp0).... i cannot ping to any address (for example the nameserver of my ISP 194.25.2.129)...
route -n

1o.112.112.113 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 uh 0 0 ppp0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 u 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.112.112.113 0.0.0.0 ug 0 0 ppp0

in /etc/resolv.conf you can find the two nameservers of my isp... i dont know why... could you please help me?

thank you

Im wondering if you expected your ip address to be in the private range ? Usually these are real addresses ?

What is your configuration file look like (please remove username/pass details before posting)

hi!
dont know which file you wanna see...
here my /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf

# WARNING WARNING WARNING:
#
# If you are using rp-pppoe on a physically-inaccessible host, set
# CONNECT_TIMEOUT to 0. This makes SURE that the machine keeps trying
# to connect forever after adsl-start is called. Otherwise, it will
# give out after CONNECT_TIMEOUT seconds and will not attempt to
# connect again, making it impossible to reach.

# Do you want to use synchronous PPP? "yes" or "no". "yes" is much

# "no", but you may want to experiment with "yes". "yes" is generally
# safe on Linux machines with the n_hdlc line discipline; unsafe on others.
SYNCHRONOUS=no

# Do you want to clamp the MSS? Here's how to decide:
# - If you have only a SINGLE computer connected to the ADSL modem, choose
# "no".
# - If you have a computer acting as a gateway for a LAN, choose "1412".
# The setting of 1412 is safe for either setup, but uses slightly more
