Maybe you are lacking a functioning route. Is ping working from the
server's side ?
I had a similar problem (Win95 box as client, Linux as PPP-Server).
I solved it by:
1) having the pppd in mgetty's login.config give the client a static
ip-address  by using the localip:remoteip option of pppd
2) giving the remoteip a name in the server's /etc/hosts, like
remoteip 	remote.name
3) adding to the server's /etc/rout.conf the following line:
remoteip            0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0           ppp0
4) reboot
'remoteip' means, I inserted an ip-address which was suitable to my
private intranet, e.g. 192.168.100.20.

Try it and let me know your results.
