Most residential DSL providers use PPPoE. Were you supplied a "static" IP address ?? If so, you're not using PPPoE. Did you have to install any "special" software in order to get connected or just enter IP addresses, gateway address, etc, etc ??

'cause there's *no* network connection. If it was a DNS problem, it would at least take a few seconds for the protocol to timeout.
