Thanks for your ideas.
Well no without any route assignment - of course I dont get anything.
With the default route assignment which gets set despite the error
message I can resolve hosts but cant ping anything.
I'll consider the mtu/mru settings - fact is that I prior to this didnt
have set them at all and I got a warning saying they get adjusted <1500.
But maybe it is as you say, that I have to adjust mtu but not mru.
I have to say Im not really skilled with the internals of PPP(oE).
If I do ping for now I dont get anything, no error message - maybe a
timeout but I didnt wait that long.
I'll also check with your ping cmd suggestions, cant check now - I'll do
so in the evening.
cheers
Georg
