How are you setting up the interface? I setup mine like this:

# cat /etc/ifconfig.pppoe0
create
!pppoectl -e tlp0 $int
!pppoectl $int myauthproto=3Dchap myauthname=3Duser@example.com myauthsecre=
t=3DXXXXX
inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff
!sleep 10
!route add default -iface my.local.ip.address
up
