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...
