hi
First of all, sorry for my poor english, it's because i'm hungarian.
I'm having exactly the same problem. Just before when the problem apperared i was installing linux to another winchester and tried to make internet connection with PPPoE.
I tried everything - i'm a beginner in linux - even i changed the MTU, as well.
Anyways, i couldn't make it so i switched it off, changed the hard drive to the Xp's winchester and guess what, Xp is unable the establish Internet connection via PPPoE.
I thought maybe i had killed the network card but yesterday i borrowed another from a friend and it still doesn't want to work.
So now i'll try to do what you guys suggested and will inform you what happened.
