When I start it it gives the error--

Centos 4.3?  You are quite out of date.

Centos 4.6 has rp-pppoe-3.5, not rp-pppoe-3.8.  The Centos doesn't have the
files that you indicate below.  So your support route is going to be with
Roaring Penguin, not with Centos.

You are trying to start the pppoe server or client?  Those commands look like
client stuff.  If you want to connect to the Internet through pppoe DSL, then
first run adsl-setup.
