I got this weird problem..

i'm using SusE linux 5.3
i'm using pppd 2.2.0f-24
i'm using mgetty 1.1.8-25
a got autoppp set up in login.config file like this:

/AutoPPP/ -   -   /usr/sbin/pppd auth login +pap -chap modem crtscts
proxyarp lock

my inittab contains this line.

s0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -D -x9 -s115200 /dev/ttyS0

ok here's my problem..

i'm dailing in from a win 98 machine (tryed it from linux too).
the connection is beeing established. i get my ip from the linux box and
everything "seems" to be working
fine.. but. ik can't ping anything , not even my dail-up server.

when i run ifconfig on my linux box its shows ppp0
with its ip and its p-t-p ip.
i can't ping my win 98 machine from my linux box.
al routing tables are set up correctly like this:

Kernel IP routing table
