Hello,
 
I'm having trouble connecting to my ISP.  I'm using 'wvdial' to dial in and I've also run 'pppconfig' and entered all the appropriate information.  Basically, I can't do anything after 'wvdial' calls up 'pppd':
 
--> Sending: (password)
Entering PPP Session.
IP address is 64.154.143.106
MTU is 1524.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] };}!}$}%t}"}&} } } } }'}"}(}"}3})}#} @{[19][0e]\(a~
--> PPP negotiation detected.
--> Starting pppd at Thu Sep 14 20:38:05 2000
 
If I type 'ifconfig', I see the following for the ppp0 device:
 
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:64.154.137.31 P-t-P:63.215.26.130 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1524 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
 
QUESTION 1:  My understanding is that the "P-t-P" IP address should be the same as my ISP's Nameserver address (Primary DNS).  Is this true??  If so, then it's using the wrong address.  Where could "P-t-P" IP address possibly come from??  I don't ever remember entering that number and I don't know where it's coming from.  I certainly did not enter it when running 'pppconfig'...
 
I've tried connecting several times, and the "P-t-P" IP address never changes (unlike the dynamic "inet addr" IP address).  This may point to it being in some config file somewhere...
 
I'm including a potion of my /var/log/messages as the last piece of info...
