You may want to check your routing table with a "netstat -nr" command.  As
an example, this is what I see on my system:

Routing tables

Internet:

Note that that are two lines for the tun0 ppp tunneling interface.  To
route packets past the ppp server, you need the "default" route.  Check
that your ppp.linkup is correct.

Just for your information, your should also be able to see the ethernet
addresses for the computers on your local network that have been recently
accessed.
