Ok I tried what Ken mentioned, and it worked! I thought that the Kppp GUI would have overwritten these settings in /etc/ppp/options, but it didn't. Now for the next problem: I can connect to the web, but I can't ping any external IP (can only ping the IP provided by the ISP). I think this is due to the defaultroute setting. I have attached a section from syslog where it mentions the 'defaultroute' option. Does anyone know how I set this to the right value?
