Only the gateway router should be doing PPPoE to the DSL connection. The two routers must have different IP addresses, use .1 for the gateway router (the one connected to the DSL modem) and .2 for the other router. If you've changed the IP addresses on the routers make sure that you reboot them, better yet power off both routers and the DSL modem for about 30 seconds, then you can power them all back on.
