What is PPPoE? What does it do?
I know that PPPoE is a protocol. How is it different from a TCP/IP?
Which protocol is better if you are using DSL conneciton? I just need to be educated here. Thanks

google discribes pppoe as Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.
For more info read the rfc documents ( RFC 2516 ) from here
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2516.html

PPoE is peer to peer over ethernet. Its similar to dial up (PPP) but since its over ethernet, its a bit different. Most DSL services use PPPoE. With DSL, you still "dial up" but into high speed lines. Where with cable, its always on.
TCP/IP is just the protocol used to communicate with the internet.
This is going to be true for all internet services.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

Jep, PPP makes it possible for other protocols to be used over phone lines.
PPPoE, like phishpreek says is often used in DSL connections.

like el-half said your still using tcp/ip once you connect you just cant connect without it
