I had problems with PAP authentication failures today, and disconnects from ihug.

Then I had something REALLY weird happen, I could connect (once only) and got this...

IP Address 192.0.2.1
Network Type PPPoA
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.255
Gateway IP Address 203.109.128.167
Domain Name Server 203.0.178.191

I thought the IP address looked very strange (not sure if it's a non-routable private, from memory 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x and 127.0.0.x are non-routable...)

This is their status message, which differs from my problems...

It may be that Ihug have run out of IP's in the pool they assign addressing for your type of connection. This could leave your router:

Refusing to connect is IPCP wont allocate it an address.
Decideing to using an IP if feels like.
Being allocated an incorrect IP address from the PPP terminating device at Ihug.

Either way the IP you have isnt publicly routable as its IANA reserved, you *may* be able to get round Ihugs network with it though if you need to pickup email and such for a pop server and send using their smtp server.
