I am following the instructions on this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pppoe.html

I had initially thought it was a problem with the modem so I had a
technician come in to take a look; when hooked up to his windows
laptop:

1) He had to assign the  interface the static address
2) no uname/pass were required.

What needs to change in my ppp.conf to accommodate a static address?

Thanks.
