can be solved using rp-pppoe instead of ppp, by modifying /etc/conf.d/net:

example:

config_eth1=( "adsl" )
adsl_user_eth1=( "username" )

I suppose you speak about SNAT rules set on your server.
I hope you are aware of the fact that, in general, PPP links have dynamic IPs which means you should have MASQUERADE rules instead SNAT... unless you add/replace SNAT rule after you know the IP assigned to your ppp interface (hints: /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, postup() function in /etc/conf.d/net, ...).

What rules does your nat table have?
Comment 2 k0001 2006-09-27 05:07:26 UTC
read those threads please... the problem is not in NAT or iptables...
the problem is in baselayout-1.12.5...
