I have an ADSL/Ethernet modem on ppp0: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:81.56.221.174 P-t-P:192.168.254.254 Mask:255.255.255.255
Yes, that's what I though. Isn't this IP reserved?
Yepp. It's a non routed private IP address. I can't reproduce why your ISP should give you a private IP address as your standard gateway. 192.168.x.x are not routed addresses.
When I do a traceroute from my home box to the inet I get through 192.168.254.254: montblanc:/etc/ppp # traceroute microsoft.com traceroute to microsoft.com (207.46.245.222), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 192.168.254.254 (192.168.254.254) 122 ms 136 ms 121 ms 2 th2-6k-1.routers.proxad.net (212.27.37.30) 121 ms 120 ms 128 ms 3 Ge1-2.PASBB2.Pastourelle.opentransit.net (193.251.252.221) 123 ms 119 ms 121 ms ...

Here is my routing table: montblanc:/home/pep # netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here should be the P-t-P address of your ppp0 device.
It is the P-t-P address of my ppp0. Do I miss something?
Something's definitly wrong with your routing table. Have a look to your /etc/ppp/options. It should look like this
We have identic ppp options config. Buenas noches, Pep Serrano.
