Yeah it's just weird that a Mac sees a PPPoE connection as a completely different connection than Std Ethernet and all. Sounded like your location (network configuration set) only had the PPPoE interface configured and no std ethernet so it was easier to have you make a new location. A new location defaults to an ethernet, wireless, bluetooth, and firewire all with DHCP and no PPPoE.
Glad it worked for you.
