In fact, i could not even ping my DNS by IP. A traceroute to these DNS
showed a few hops inside my providers domain, ended by the fatal "3 stars"
lines.

I already have set my default route with a manual call to

"route add default w.x.y.z"

where w.x.y.z is the IP address of my internet gateway. 

The only strange thing in manual attempts is an error message when i call
"ifconfig pppoe0 inet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 down". This message says:

 "lcp: illegal down in state initial"

I don't have such a message in permanent connection. Do you think it is
related to my problem? I find it odd to have a dynamic IP from my ISP, and
no internet access. Here are the possibilities i imagine:

- a problem with my ISP,
- a bug in the kernel,
- or maybe the manual connection is different from permanent
connection (why?) in that can't give you a real internet connection. Has
anyone tested manual connection with his own configuration, and accessed
to internet hosts? This would help me much.
