I've dialing into pppd debian woody from a macintosh. The connection is
made successfully, authorised etc. I get an extra line in the routing
table that looks like this:

test:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
dialinhost       *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
...etc

and ifconfig looks fine, correct ip numbers etc. for ppp0.

The problem is that I can't ping from either direction. 

I'm using config files that are near copies of those that worked perfectly
on RH, and without changing the macintosh I can still dial into the old RH
box.


Thanks... 

David.


PS.. i'm having trouble finding how-to docs on this problem. The docs on
pppd tend to talk about dialing OUT, not in.
