I didn't see that you had a LAN connection in addition to the PPP.
>From the pppd manpage:
"The default behaviour of pppd is to allow an unauthenticated peer to
use a given IP address only if the system does not already have a route
to that IP address. For example, a system with a permanent connection
to the wider internet will normally have a default route, and thus all
peers will have to authenticate themselves in order to set up a connec-
tion. On such a system, the auth option is the default. On the other
hand, a system where the PPP link is the only connection to the inter-
net will not normally have a default route, so the peer will be able to
use almost any IP address without authenticating itself."
So you would be correct; You will probably have to take down the LAN
connection to make pppd accept an IP address.
