The problem is this:

You seem to be asking for a specific IP address, and the remote end is
bouncing you off because it doesn't like that (or perhaps your pppd is
terminating the connection because it can't get the IP it thinks it should
have).  I'm completely unfamiliar with kppp, and it's been quite a while
since I've worked with pppd at all, but if you look in /etc/ppp/options
you might see a line like this:

  [<IPaddr>]:[<IPaddr>]

The square brackets are intended to indicate that the IP addresses on
either side of the colon are optional.  One represents the IP address you
are requesting, and the other is the IP address that you think the remote
end should be (IIRC).  If you see this line, delelte it and you should be
all set.

If you DON'T  see this line, that means kppp has some other method of
passing options to pppd that I'm not familiar with.  Most probably it
keeps its own options file somewhere, and there's a line like that in that
file. I have no guesses where that might be, since I don't even have kppp
installed.

Basically, when you initiate a PPP connection, pppd must be run with some
options file, a la:

  pppd file /etc/ppp/options

kppp must be doing this for you, but you'll need to find the options file
it is using, and fix it.  The man page for pppd, as always, will give you
all the info you need to get this working, IF you can find that options
file.

Note that it is possible to pass options to pppd on the command line as
well, and kppp might be doing that instead.  If that's the case, then you
need to take a look at your kppp config and make sure you're not
specifying any IP address for the connection.
