I am unable to connect to the internet using a PPPoE account in China. I've connected via DHCP at a friends apartment here in China and wirelessly at various places, but not with PPPoE. A tech from the internet company couldn't figure it out and I took it to a tech store and they tried a different user name and password and it still did not connect. Has anyone had this problem before? Please help! I'm here for a year and to be able to connect at my apartment. Thanks.
 
Try configuring the PPPoE dial information in your ADSL Modem / Wireless router.
I have configured that with my Airport Express and it works just fine.
China Telecom ADSL service MAY record the MAC address of the previous dialing device, try call their service hotline(10000) and request clearing that MAC info before you change your dialing device.
