Forgive me for jumping in like this. I have no idea what the original querier's problem is, save the quotation above. Given that, I wish to state the following:
I too had this problem. I got rid of dhcp, chucked the /etc/resolv.conf file's content and let pppoeconf do the rest. This may be an over-simplification; in my defence, I cite my preamble.
Perhaps that will help.
Cheers.
