Sounds like a route issue. Run a "netstat -rn" and see if you have
a default route setup.

CCP is the "Compression Control Protocol" which is used for STAC
compression, etc. About proxyarp, most ISPs will disable this feature
since it only work if they are routing a remote subnet to you.
You can learn about this from the PPP RFCs. For more
details about PPP, URLs to the RFCs, etc.. check out:

You might be hitting the dynamic IP address bug. This exposes itself
only on the first packet of the initial connection. After that..
things will be fine.
