Infinate thanks for the suggestions. Now I know what was wrong and
how I fixed it, just can't figure out why it was happening. For some reason, I
wasn't getting a local IP address dynamically assigned with this ISP. I had
checked dynamic IP in the KPPP setup, just like the other 2 ISP's I have access
to, but the output of ifconfig showed:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.0.0.3 P-t-P:208.12.224.6 Mask:255.255.255.255
Where 10.0.0.3 is the eth0 address of my machine on my little lan. After
pouring over the PPP FAQ and HOW-TO, I got the idea to use "noipdefault" from
the man page (so man pages really are all you need?!), which worked great. I
just don't get why this ISP would need the "noipdefault" when the others don't
and I get local addresses from them just fine.
One more question: each of my account configurations in the kpprc file
has a line "IPAddr=0.0.0.0". Anybody know what exactly that line does and
whether it should be commented out in this case. Looks kinda suspicious....
Thanks again, Ramon.
