Let's see if it's true :)

I have a problem here: after having the unfortunate idea of upgrading
to RedHat 5.0, my PPP setup stopped working. 

I have a few machines networked using the private IP address space 
192.168.1.0. RH Linux 5.0 (with kernel upgraded to 2.0.33) is running at
192.168.1.1. The modem is connected to this machine, that is also my DNS
and NIS servers. Its routing table (netstat -r) shows:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U      1500 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U      3584 0          0 lo

After starting PPP, it becomes:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
165.76.88.25    *               255.255.255.255 UH     1524 0          0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U      1500 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U      3584 0          0 lo
default         165.76.88.25    0.0.0.0         UG     1524 0          0 ppp0

Apparently the PPP link went up successfully, but... a traceroute to 
152.2.254.81 gives:

traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 192.168.100.1 @ eth0
traceroute to 152.2.254.81 (152.2.254.81), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  * *

and I can't even ping 165.76.88.25. I went thru the redhat-hurricane
mailing list archives and found others having similar problems with
PPP in RH5.0, but no solution yet.

Anyone could give me a clue on what's wrong?
