Can anyone help ? > After several hours of having similar problems, I found that in my case, the ``ifconfig MY_IP REMOTE_IP'' had the wrong `REMOTE_IP'. (I was connecting to the Portmaster at work rather than the machine that I needed to be hooked up with, `tera.com', and after I changed IP's, ppp began to work.
