ppp help



Hello,
I'm a 1.5 debian-year old, and I'm on my second round of debian installs. I recently acquired a PII-266 motherboard, and built it into a second machine. Naturally, withing a couple of weeks, I had to network my two machines, and thanks to a kind, knowledgeable friend, I have my own LAN.
However, we have not been so successfully getting this machine to dial in to my ISP (aka Dartmouth College). I ran pppconfig, and set everything up the way the docs told me too, and after a little fiddling, got what seemed to be a ppp connection. That is, I received an IP address, and pppd appeared to be sending acknowledgements back to Dartmouth periodically. However, when I went to ping the other end of my link, it reported "ppp: sendto: Operation not permitted",
As I said before, I have an ethernet card in my machine, although we did try taking down the network link (ifconfig eth0 down) and that didn't seem to help matters any. We looked at the relevant docs and man pages, and couldn't find anything that helped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
