Re: Connected...but not really...

Its most probably a problem with you routing table after you connect.

Check your routing tabel (with: route -n), and there should be two entrys
with the interface ppp?.

If there is only one and its not the default route then it hasnt been set up
right.

You will need to set up your default route to the IP addr listed for the
ppp? device.
do:

route del default
route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of the ppp? device.

I know this is dodgy guys (and not the propper way to do it), but its a
quick fix for the problem.
