My pppd network connection will not work. I am using linux-2.4.0-test9 with ppp support compiled in and used pppconfig to set up my connection using static DNS addresses provided by my isp earthlink.net. My modem connects and negotiates a link, aassigns me an ip address however, every ping I do to an internet address gives me the message "Network is unreachable". Is this related to the line in mysyslog file where it says:
