Here is how ADSL works... (at least as i think it works... :) )


 The PC box is connected to an Adsl BOX with an ethernet wire. both
interface (pc and Adsl box) have a local ip addresse (10.0.0.0/24, or
192.168.0.0.0/24), all adsl boxes (In France) supports PPP over
Ethernet and some supports PPPTP. Then ppp speaks with the peer
authenticates it self and asks for config parameters...

the ppp is encapsulated over ethernet with PPPoE, or tuneled through PPTP.

Then your "external" interface (with the Public IP) is ppp0.

The working conneciton your talking about is the ethernet connection
between the Adsl box and the PC.
