Have a look at the following options in /etc/ppp/options file
ipcp-accept-remote (accepts remote ip address given by server)
ipcp-accept-local (accepts local ip address given by server)
defaultroute (sets remote address as default route for networking)
As you are using Eircom free account you will need all 3.
man pppd will give you more details on these options
