Sounds like you have an incorrect or missing DNS server for your ppoe connection.Try booting into windows and then look at your Digital Subscriber Line network settings, particularly the DNS IP address.
Then see if you can enter it into the network setup for your Damn Small Linux system.

I found and fixed the problem! It was the DHCP lease from my isp I had todo ( ipconfig /release ) in winXP. Then I booted dsl and the internet was up and runnin'. BroadBand problem solved!!!!
