pppd will work out the IP address your box has on its local network.
For instance, the dialin server at work is called prgsrv1 and has an
/etc/hosts entry:

192.168.17.35   prgsrv1.pacific-retail.co.nz prgsrv1

So pppd will set the address of the local end to 192.168.17.35, and
the remote IP address to Y.Y.Y.Y (from /etc/mgetty/login.config).  The
addresses used should be logged in /var/log/ppp.log.

If you're just using 127.0.0.1, you'll need to pick an address (under
192.168.?.?) and use that.
