You don't provide much info here. What distro of Linux?
 
Can you connect using Windows or other system? I assume this is cabled with ethernet. Are you sure that standard TCP/IP setup with DHCP for getting settings is not correct?
 
As you say ppp does your ISP use PPPoE?
 
Sorry, you just have to be a bit more specific about what requirements are and what you are using.
