You need to manipulate your routing tables so that your computer knows to
send the packets through the ppp line (tun0 interface).
1. su to root
2. netstat -rn to list current routes
3. delete any routes with destination "default" (iijppp shoud do this
for you)
4. "route add default <otherend>" where <otherend> is the remote
machine.
Set your ISP's DNS in /etc/resolv.conf as "nameserver 123.123.123.123".
Other than that, iijppp is pretty automatic.
If this doesn't help let me know and I'll try to illustrate.
