Hi Jerry,
So you're not a complete newbie then! ;-)
Your description above says a lot. What this means is that your PC is definitely
not routing through your ppp connection. I'm not quite sure what's in your other
conf files but, I think you'll find this doc more than a little useful to your
problem:

It's helped me more than a little - I was just afraid real newbies might find it
overwhelming. Since you're not, you should have no problems. Good Luck! (sheesh,
I'm starting to sound like Steve...except, I'm no guru ;-))
