1. Help! I am losing sleep over ppp.

Dear Kind ppp genius people,

I am trying to get ppp 2.2.0.f running on my Linux 2.0.0 box.  I have
just received Linux 96 CD and I have installed both to a fresh hard
drive.  I am using minicom to dial into the server and then issueing the
following command:

                pppd -d -detach /dev/cua1 &

Then I enter the command:

                ifconfig ppp0

To get the following output:

        ppp0    Link encap: Point-Point Protocol
                inet addr: 169.207.9.163  P-t-P: 169.207.9.6 Mask: 255.255.0.0
                UP POINTTOPOINT Running MTU: 553 Metric: 2
                Rx packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
                Tx packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0

Even though it says I am up and running, ping does not work even when I
provide the address.

My question is: Where do I go from here?

I have read the HOWTO, I am looking for the PPP FAQ (if it exists).  I
am looking at the resolv.conf and options file.  I am on a small network
with SMC ethernet cards, is that messing me up?  Is there something else
I can post to this newsgroup to provide more information?  Is there
something wrong with version "f"?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Thad
