Did you try this ArchWiki [PPPoE Setup with pppd] walkthrough already? It might help.

Re: Can't ping or update from mirror list after connecting to ADSL pppoe

I configured my modem as a PPPOE  mode and the modem got connected to my ISP directly without configuring "pppoe-setup",my connection is now behaving as a cable broadband service , so all I had to do was dhcpcd eth1  as I have 2 NICs (one on board and other as PCI). Then it automatically obtains IP addresses,and bingo I can now ping www.google.com and can download updates.

I had solved this issue on 28-06-2011

Anyway thanks for all the help given to me.

This issue is now resolved.

I have another issue - " openbox configuration"

I'll post it other part of the forum.

Thanks anyway - This issue is resolved.

Arch is the way forward
