RE: PPP dialup and IP numbers

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

I think this will solve my problem (thanks Ray Peterson):

That's your problem.  The 192.168.1.x subnet is defined for your ethernet, and
cannot also be your ppp.  I'm assuming you have a subnet mask on the
ethernet of
255.255.255.0.

Somebody owns the 1.1.1.1 address, so you definitely shouldn't be using it.
 You
should just use one of the public address ranges - I  use the 172.20.x.x
subnet.
If you are using 255.255.255.0 as your subnet mask on the ethernet, then
you could
use 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 on the ppp for example.   I know that the
following ranges are labeled as private by RFC 1918 and are available to you.

 10.0.0.0/8
 172.16.0.0/12
 192.168.0.0/16
