Ok, here's my problem.

I can't seem to get user PPP going with my ISP, which provides me a dynamic IP.
First of all, I wasn't sure, but does the hostname I setup in /etc/sysconfig
matter?  Obviously, I don't have one, since I have a dynamic IP.  Also, the
line I have in my /etc/syconfig is:

ifconfig_tun0="inet dottow.cnsii.com 206.126.116.129 netmask 0xffffff00"

(I set hostname to be my username and my isp's domain)


Also, in /etc/hosts, I have:

127.0.0.1               localhost
10.0.0.1                dottow.cnsii.com        dottow

and in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

cns:
        set phone xxx...
        set login "..."
        set timeout 120
        set ifaddr 0 0
        add 0 0

What am I doing wrong?  I can dial into my isp and establish a connection,
but I cannot ping, ftp, etc... neither a name that must be resolved by DNS,
nor a simple IP address.  It says some error about 'Routing'.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated,

Thank you.
