I have been working on getting this PPP conection to work for a long
time now. I must be really missing something or not understanding the
concept at all. 

I am able to get a connection and login with my service provider. A
Perfect Connection! The IPCP negotiations get my IP address, which is
dynamically allocated. The gateway and DNS are set correctly, I got
the numbers directly from the service provider. My log shows that I
have the perfect connection.
 
No errors. And still I am unable to communication via the internet. I
can't ping, telnet, ftp, nothing. I followed the manuals and man
pages. Could any tell me what could be happing? I know this account
works because I can use it with my WIN95 tcpip stack.


Any Ideas?
