First you should look at www.suse.de/www.suse.com.
They have a very good support database:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/index.html
> i have these packages installed
> smpppd-0.49-7 (and yes, smpppd is running)
> ppp-2.4.1-170
Good.
> rp-pppoe-3.4-1
Don't needed any more.
> my /etc/ppp/options file goes like this:
[-]
> mtu 1484
> mru 1484
As example for the German Telecom you need:
mtu 1492
mru 1492
It belongs into: /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe
#
# PPPoE options
#
plugin pppoe.so
#
# Plugin enables us to pipe the password to pppd, thus we don't have
# to put it into pap-secrets and chap-secrets. User is also passed
# on command line.
#
plugin passwordfd.so
#
noauth
usepeerdns
mru 1492
mtu 1492
# this is recommended
defaultroute
replacedefaultroute
hide-password
nodetach
# switch off all compressions (this is a must)
nopcomp
# this is recommended
novjccomp
noccp
> my /etc/ppp/pap-secret is like this

pap-secret is empty autogenerate with YaST2 (SuSE 7.3)
> i have been trying to get this pppoe to work by running:
> pppoe -I eth1
> pppoe -D -d 9 -I eth1
> adsl-start
Try with YaST/YaST2 (in this order).
Good luck.
