You havn't got a default. Can you ping demon-du (158.152.1.222)? If
so, in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf add a line to the end of your ppp entry saying
add 0 0 HISADDR
If not, what does /var/log/ppp.log say?
The ppp.conf entry is the same as "route add default 158.152.1.222" and
should give you a route entry saying
akdam 158.152.1.222 UGHS x x tun0
BTW, I take it 112.0.0.0 is a local network. If you're connecting to
the net, you really should change this to be one of the classes
recommended in /etc/hosts:
# According to RFC 1918, you can use the following IP networks for
# private nets which will never be connected to the Internet:
#
# 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
# 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
# 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
