the stats look great, as I seem to have the correct speed profile.. I just cant figure out how to establish a pppoe connection..  everything I read online is saying this :
vpdn-group 1
 request-dialout
  protocol l2tp

Open in new window

should be:
vpdn-group 1
 request-dialout
  protocol pppoe

Open in new window

but the IOS doesnt let me enter it... l2tp is my only option..

also i tried entering "bba-group pppoe global" and then "pppoe enable group global" on Ethernet0, but no matter what "pppoe enable" command I enter for Ethernet0, it never saves it...

I tried just copy/pasting what you had written earlier, then i deleted Dialer1 and pasted what you had written, to see if that worked. neither worked. What debugging steps can i take to see where the issue lies?

I have this but it's not too helpful :
a#sh ppp interface dialer 1

I keep getting a 172.16.17.2 address is this problem at the provider. Chap authentication works fine and I get a successful login. but I cannot ping anything on the internet
