PPP localhost loopback issue dialing in to home

[Jon Moss]

I thought I was doing good.  Last week, I succeeded in configuring
mgetty and autoppp on my home linux box.  I was able to dialin in from
work from my linux workstation and from my WindowsXP laptop.  Both times
I was assigned the correct IP address (192.168.0.5).  

I must have changed something at home because now the home linux box
answers the phone, but will not establish a PPP connection.  If I dialin
using minicom, I am prompted to login from localhost (127.0.0.1).  I
can't ping to the network (192.168.0.1 is the DNS/DHCP server
(unfortunately it's a WindowsXP computer); 192.168.0.2 is the linux
computer).  

Where should I look to fix this issue?  What configuration file have I
messed up?  What man page or how-to should I review?  

I searched at Deja for a similiar situation, but couldn't find it.  

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
