I'm trying to setup a Freebsd box to act as my router/firewall and as such I've been trying to configure it to connect to my ISP's PPPoE dsl service. It doesn't connect and the errors provided in the log prove don't show me much content as to what is causing the problem. One thing strange is ppp is saying its using tun1, while below you can see its saying its using tun0 and erroring. Error log, ppp.conf and rc.conf are listed below.

Error log:
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connected!
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> dial
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected!
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect Time: 5 sec
ppp[198]: tun0: Phase: deflink: hangup - > opening 

ppp.conf
default:
 set log Phase chat lcp ipcp ccp tun command
 set if addr 10.10.0.1/0 10.10.0.2/0
 set mtu 1492
 set mru 1492
 set device PPPoE:rl0

papchap:
 set authname name
 set authkey key
 set dial
 set login
 add default HISADDR

rc.conf
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="papchap"
gateway_enabled="YES"
ifconfig_rl0="DHCP"
ifconfig_dc0="inet 10.10.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.248"
