ppp / route / ping

[Steven Merrifield <s.merrifield@ee.latrobe.edu.au>]

Hi,

I can dial the ISP and make a PPP connection, but cannot route any
packets. The link is up, and the routing table looks good. Default
route is set for ppp0 and the remote IP. resolv.conf and host.conf
are both setup properly.

A search using dejanews shows many people are having similar
problems, but no answers...

Debian 2.1, kernel 2.0.36, pppd 2.3.5

I can ping 203.23.74.18 and localhost successfully.

Any ideas at all???
Thanks,
