Default Freebsd router PPP/PPPoE connection problem

I have a thomson adsl router set in half bridge mode. When I installed pfsense onto a spare machine with 2 nics it worked a treat and my wan ip was assigned to one of the nics and it worked perfect.
So I was thinking of ditching the pfsense box to cut down on pc's running and configure my freebsd server which has dual nics to do the same.
I tried the docs here freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/pppoe.html thinking I was on the right track but they didnt work.


Code:
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 5 secs: 0 octets in, 0 octets out
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: 20 packets in, 18 packets out
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase:  total 0 bytes/sec, peak 0 bytes/sec on Wed Dec 30 17:36:10 2009
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: hangup -> opening
Dec 30 17:36:15 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Enter pause (30) for redialing.
Dec 30 17:36:45 wwppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connected!
Dec 30 17:36:45 ww ppp[82070]: tun0: Phase: deflink: opening -> dial
So how was pfsense able to connect ? any pointers welcome
Thanks
