[PLUG] PPP problem


Recently I've been having a rather peculiar problem with my Internet connection.  
I can connect without any problems, but when I do connect, I can only access IPs 
that begin with the same three numbers as mine (in other words, 206.20.145.0).  
I've tried pinging a number of addresses meeting that pattern, with results.  
Anything else, such as DNS servers, doesn't work.  I know the problems not with 
my net connection because I'm typing this e-mail on the family iMac using the 
same provider.

I guess I'll describe me setup.  I have a Debian box running the unstable 
distro.  I have an Ethernet card, and I run an IP masquerade with the Macs 
downstairs.  The home network is, stupidly enough, on 172.0.0.0.  I should 
probably switch it over to one of the encouraged ip numbers, but I haven't 
gotten around to it.  If anything else is needed, let me know.  It's not too 
easy to cat out files right now because, as far as I can tell, Macs can only use 
one TCP/IP network at once, so I don't have access to my computer from the 
basement.

Thanks
