I connect to the internet over cables using pptp. Up untill Thursday night everything worked fine, at which point it just stopped connecting. A Long phone call to the ISP earthed that they performed a major upgrade (which the first denied for an hour and a half of course).
Anyway, to cut a long story shory, when I try to bring up the pptp connection, the pptp connection comes up, recieves local and remote IPs and DNS but then nothing will go over the connection. It later dies about a minute and a half later. I can't even ping the other side. The ISP say that they see the connection come up on their side, but they can't ping me and they can't help any further. I tried upgrading pptp from 1.5 to 1.7 but to no avail. I connection a windows machine and it connects fine, so it's not a hardware problem. The windows connecion uses PAP and no encryption or compression. I ran out of ideas and diagnostic options.
