I am having issues configuring PPPoE on a new Nethserver installation. I have two WAN interfaces so as to provide a backup internet connection. The primary internet connection at this location is a cable internet connection with a static IP address, and it works properly. The problem is that the DSL connection always shows as down. I have deleted the interface and re-added it, but I always get the same error.
Task completed with errors
S70network-start #9 (exit status 256)
The error logged in /var/log/messages is:
Jul 27 20:02:54 gateway pppd[29848]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

I believe that captures all the relevant bits on the PPPoE configuration attempt. Where should I look next? Is there any further information that I con provide to you?
