V2.1.0-R
ppp user - problem

the interactive ppp screen shows the ppp link as up and running.
using ping in a shell out of ppp i can not get any response
from my host (isp).
the "show proto" command tells me that IP's are sent and received !
it appears the number received is always lower than the number sent.
however, ping or traceroute do not seem to get any of the received packages.

furthermore i find the following syslog messages:

routed[50]: deleting route to interface tun0 (timed out)

this message appears around 3 minutes after starting routed.
why does it time out ?
where can I change the timeout value ?

/kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf074fb80) was (0xf06d3300)
this message appears when ppp is run.
what is rtinit ?
what does ifa mean ? (interface address ?)

any help would be very much appreciated
