| Instead of a normal dial-up connection, I have to get complicated with a 
| Point to Point Protocol Over Ethernet Digital Subscriber Line, unfortunately, the 
| computer doesn't want to cooprate, I'm using FreeBSD version 4.10, and am 
| assuming that the kernel doesn't need to be reconfigured to support PPPoE. I'm 
| using the instructions and configuration file from 
| http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/pppoe.html.
|    The network card is a Realtek RTL8139/810x 10/100 auto switching fast 
| ethernet NIC, and shows up as rl0, the bootup device list is at the bottom of this 
| page. Also, I would like the aforementioned NIC to automatically bring itself 
| UP on bootup.
| 
| This is what happened while following the instructions from 
| http://www.daemonnews.org/200101/pppoe.html:
| # ls -l /dev/tun?
| crw-------  1 root  wheel   52,   0 Sep  3 02:14 /dev/tun0
| crw-------  1 root  wheel   52,   1 Sep  3 02:14 /dev/tun1
| crw-------  1 root  wheel   52,   2 Sep  3 02:14 /dev/tun2
| crw-------  1 root  wheel   52,   3 Sep  3 02:14 /dev/tun3
| # edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
| 
| 
| (Beginning of configuration file)
| #
| # ppp.conf: PPPoE configuration
| #
| 
| default:
| # PPP over Ethernet
| set device PPPoE:rl0
| set speed sync
| set mru 1492
| set mtu 1492
| set ctsrts off
| 
| # monitor line quality
| enable lqr
| 
| # log just a bit
| set log phase tun
| 
| # insert default route upon connection
| add default HISADDR
| 
| # download /etc/resolv.conf
| enable dns
| 
| papchap:
|  set authname rxp110
|  set authkey (My Password)
|  (End of configuration file)

try putting following:
        set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
before:
        add default HISADDR
