This is your problem here. Do not configure tun0, ppp will do that for
you. So just remove this from sysconfig.

Isn't necessary when ifconfig'ing, just punch in the dotted quad.

Shouldn't need routed either.

That checks out. The 'set ifaddr' may be extraneous, since you're on
dynamic. ppp will create the appropriate route, you have to add the
default route (or have ppp do it for you).

I'm not sure what the ppp command is, I know that after I connect, I
switch to su and create a default route.
ppp adds this route:
128.223.150.132 128.223.150.140 UH 0 0 tun0
and I add this route:
route add default 128.223.150.132
And it works OK. I punch in the first number (destination) for the
gateway and I can get out.

Because you ifconfig'd tun0. Remove it and you should be back to normal.

Do a netstat -rn and make sure a default route to the gateway was added.
It'll give you that error if the nameserver isn't set or can't be
contacted. (Is the nameserver configured in /etc/resolv.conf?)
Hope this helps. I connect to a host that is dynamic-everything (gateway
and my IP) and ppp handles it no prob except for the routing, which I
just go do manually.
