Those net applications you mentioned (ftp, telnet, etc) are used on _your_ host, or other hosts which resolve correctly over the PPP link. What happens when you do? % ping ariel and what happens when you do? % ping ariel.zhestianka.de Do both of these names resolve to 127.0.0.1, or your /etc/hosts is a mess and needs updating? -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
