I can help u may be
In fedora,u can use system-config-network to make the connection.
still,
try this if u r on bridge mode(ie,u dial from ur window$ system to get connected).
open a terminal,
run
"su -"
give root's passwd.
run /sbin/pppoe-setup.
once finished,use as root(# prompt) "pppoe-connect &" to get connected.


another way,
press ALT+F2 to get run box.inside type.

gksu gedit /etc/ppp/peers/internet

It open gedit editor the file "internet"
copy below lines to it:-

noipdefault
defaultroute
hide-password
#lcp-echo-interval 30
#lcp-echo-failure 4
noauth
persist
#mtu 1492
usepeerdns
plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0
user "urusername"

save and exit.remember to give ur broadband username in between the quote(boldletters).

now again open run dialog box(ALT+F2).
run:-

gksu gedit /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

then give ur username and passwd in below format

 "urusername"    *  "urpasswd"

save and exit.(* is there!).

now make sure ur lan card is detected(see /sbin/ifconfig output for eth0 and lo interfaces).
now as root(# prompt use "su" to achieve)
dial

pon internet

will hopefully connect.
if it cannot,do as below:-

route add default ppp0

to disconnect,use

poff

try this only if above method(pppoe-setup) doesnot work!
