Hi Chris, it sounds like you havent set automatic IP adressing along with the gateway on the remote server. Be also sure that your resolv.conf is writabe by who executes kppp (or set suid flag on pppd) and that on connection it gets filled with the remote DNS address. Remember to set CR/LF on your connection.
Hope this helps.
