ip addressing question

[charles pelletier]

I'm hoping someone here can answer this question as regards IPs etc.

I realize this is probably a Windows related issue but I was hoping someone 
here could explain, in terms of networking, what could be occuring..

When connected via PPPoE, this issue occurs:
No matter the User/Pass, ipconfig pulls exactly the same IP address along w/ 
a 255.255.255.255 subnet.
The PPPoE connection is a dynamic connection so the IP pulled should never 
be the same.
Could this be a problem with the DHClient? The reason I ask is that a 
connection is made but no route is able to occur.

Thanks for any help,
Charlie
