So 'LCP' is the initial portion of a ppp connection, and whats going on 
is that your client is attempting to negotiate paramaters with the peer 
(eg: a pppd process on the pppoe server machine). I would hazard to 
guess that getting at least that far means that 'pppoe-server' at least 
worked so there was a path between the server and client. So here's what 
you do:

* Lets see the logs from the server, and can you verify that when your 
client is connecting, there in fact is a pppd process running on the 
server machine (check with ps auxw)

Im betting there is a problem with running pppd on your server machine 
which is mucking up the works.
