Hi.
This message comes to you via ISDN on 2.2.2-pre5 and the latest utils and tools. It's probably not a kernel problem.
Your addresses on each end of the ippp0 link are wrong. You're telling your kernel that the ippp0 interface address is different from what your ISP wants to see. You can fix this by letting ipppd handle it automatically. Don't give it any addresses, and don't manually add any route.
How are you invoking ipppd? What options do you use? Here's mine:
/sbin/ipppd ippp0 defaultroute debug kdebug 1 lock -vj -vjccomp
That's all you need! (I keep debug options in because I like to see what my system is doing)
What this all means is that I'm telling ippp0 to put into my routing table a default route (no need for a manual 'route' command) between me and the default server at the other end. I don't need to give my own address and their address because the ippp protocol negotiation does that for you, and Linux ipppd is clever enough to tell the kernel and set the routing automatically. So, in brief, don't specify an address on your ipppd command line, and don't manually add the route. ipppd will handle it. At the moment, your IP link addresses are wrongly set.
I hope this fixes your problem: we shan't ever want to go back to using a modem after getting ISDN and Linux working here!
Best wishes,
Yours,
