Hoping someone out there can help with this problem, see forwarded message...
I can connect to my ISP, ping the gateway there, but I can't ping external sites and I can't make http connections. I _can_ check my mail and news from the server. I don't think it is the problem of my ISP, because (unfortunately) everything works great from Win95 (can ftp, http, whatever I want).. Here is what /var/log/debug.log shows about my pppd connection (and this is true with pppd 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, and I've tried various PAP, MS-CHAP, CHAP configuration attempts using pppsetup, this log is just using plain old script/chat...)...

I made sure to recompile the ppp.o module, and have tried with and without the bsd_comp module... Any suggestions?
