PPP to ISP

[Stephen.Murphy@aspex.co.uk]

Apologies if you already got this and especially to anyone
that replied - but e-mail was broken here yesterday and
I think I was automatically unsubscribed. So I am
still off-line with my Debian box...

Further to PPP to ISP saga - 

once the PPP connection is up netstat -nr gives (this is copied by hand so 
excuse formatting) ...



Destination    Gateway      Genmask         Flags  MSS   Win irtt Iface

195.92.66.87 is the dynamically assigned IP address for the far end
of the PPP link.

To reiterate the problem I only get ping responses from the IP address
at the far end of the connection (in this case 195.92.66.87) .

My box is happy to send ping packets to anything else but claims 100%
packet loss for returned packets ( despite fact that my modem led
seems to indicate incoming packets).
