I think you might have dhcp trying to get leases for your
ppp interfaces, which you're not using, and that's what it's complaining
about, not the ethernet interface, which is working fine.  Change the
/etc/defaults/rc.conf or the /etc/rc.conf so that you don't try dhcp for
all interfaces, just the one you want brought up with dhcp.  Change the
dhclient_args to be the name of the interface you want to bring up.
