Things to check:
- have you used proxyARP on the PC side (i've not installed pppd
  anywhere, so i cant check the man page for the exact syntax, but
  "man pppd" should tell you. It's probably just proxyarp an the config
  file)
- does you redhat pc do ip_forwarding?
  (to check: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
   should return 1, if not:
   echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward)
- does your router/firewall allow the ip of your ipad to connect to the
  internet?

That's all I can think of now.

    Goetz.
