Please define what you network is composed of. When I first got my DSL connection they installed some Windows PPPoE software, but I shut down the system as soon as the tech left (I didn't want him there at all but the ISP insisted on sending him out if I got an external ethernet modem, which I insisted on), went out and got a router, and connected it to the network before I would turn the network back on. I did note that, to my surprise, the system did work before I got rid of the PPPoE software, but it was not needed on the network once I installed the router, and, of course, the system was far more stable and better off without it.

On my Knoppix systems, thanks to a router which does DHCP and provides a NAT firewall, I just boot Knoppix and I'm on the Internet, no need to fool with PPPoE software at all. If your LAN is based on any of the inexpensive home (SOHO) DSL/cable router on the market today I would expect the same for you.
