Anybody has successful experience with Slackware 10.2 with rp-pppoe 3.5 on Sympatico?

Hi,guys!
 
I compiled my slacware 10.2 kernel and installed rp-pppoe 3.5. After I pppoe-start, it says Connected!
But it screwed up the TCP-IP and the routing stuff, and it won;t ping the name server 204.101.251.1, either. I cannot ping 127.0.0.1 and other local hosts. If I do not pppoe-start, I can ping localhost and other host.
 
ifconfig is ok, ppp0,lo, eth0 and eth1 showing up there.
When I route
it takes a long time to show up
69.x.y.z(the ppp0's ip) *  255.255.255.0   UH ...
localnet                                               U
localloop                                              U
default                                                U
 
There is no UG.
I never understood route table completely. 
The rp-pppoe documents says, it could be my old kernel. This is not the case, my kernel is 2.4.31. 
The documents says feed the eth1 a fake it such as 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0. I did that. It did not work.
I remember, the eth1 could be 0.0.0.0 and mask 255.255.255.0
 
I lived with Slackware and rp-ppp for many years and I never got problem. Probally I should get an older rp-pppoe?
 
My kernel is nothing new. I am just so greedy to utilize the memory. I has 1G memory and the kernel show only 900M. So I configured the kernel to memory 4G and HIGHMEM=y. After I got the new kernel I have 1G memory. 
 
I cannot remember how I got it work before. Probally it was Slackware 10.0. Now it is 10.2.
 
The rp-pppoe guy said, he made the rp-ppppoe on FreeBSD. That is the closest to Slackware.
 
I will look for older rp-pppoe and a newer Slackware, if you had a success story on the same environment, please give me a click. Thanks a lot!
 
Frank Peng.
