Ok, but what specifically?

Is it to setup an IPMaps entry with the Local WAN IP Address as the
external address, and the eth0 address as the internal address?

With this, can I forego pppoe which is driving me bananas. I have
run pppoeconf and checked the usernames passwords in:

   /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
   /etc/ppp/pap-secrets

It's Eircom RADSL I think. 512/128, no static IPs.

I've tried:

   user "username"
   user username
   user "username at eircom.net"
   user username at eircom.net

eth0 is recognised i.e hwaddr, but no ip address assigned
before trying 'pon dsl-provider'.

Any ideas?
