A problem with netinstall (pppoe, Etch, no DHCP)

My ISP does not provide DHCP, so I configured network manually, all data I got from windows by ipconfig /all
command.

I left http proxy field empty, my LAN uses http proxy but internet connection does not so I supposed I do not need it.

However during installation, "configuring APT - scanning the mirror" phase does not work out, whatever mirror I choose.

My internet is through pppoe, but at no point netinstall asks login and parol. So apparently I should install just base system, then configure pppoe and then go on with apt-get.

Here I found old tutorial for Sarge, according to which pppoeconfig should be in the base system:

However there is no pppoeconfig in my base system!

I would appreciate if someone could give me a hint what to do...

Do you need help?
