Are you using some sort of router? I had a similar issue using an SMC router
and configuring it to logon with the PPPoE info for me. Internet worked
great for about 10 mins and then stopped. I found a problem with the
firmware in the SMC router and once I updated it from the manufacturer's
website, everything worked fine.
