|bad one:

|sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 209.116.210.250> <compress VJ 0f 01>]

You request the IP address 209.116.210.250 .

|rcvd [IPCP ConfReq id=0x4 <compress VJ 0f 00> <addr 209.119.65.161>]
|sent [IPCP ConfAck id=0x4 <compress VJ 0f 00> <addr 209.119.65.161>]

The peer requests the IP address 209.119.65.161 for itself and you agree.

rcvd [IPCP ConfNak id=0x1 <addr 209.119.65.30> <compress VJ 0f

The peer Naks the IP address and suggests using 209.119.65.30 instead.

|sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x2 <addr 209.116.210.250> <compress VJ 0f 00>]

You insist on 209.116.210.250 .

Repeated a few times until the peer quietly steals away.

If you absolutely need 209.116.210..250 then try talking to the ISP again. 
Otherwise remove the pppd IP address specification option or use the pppd
option noipdefault, whichever is appropriate. 

The CCP negotiations are useless since pppd and the peer have no common CCP
algorithms.  Add the pppd option noccp to prevent these negotiations.
