Across the LAN yes, how many machines have you got on your local network? To 
get to the outside world you'll need a 'route'. Which ppp program are you 
using to connect? Check that your ppp setup is becoming the default route to 
the outside world - KPPP has a setting under Gateway in the account settings 
that needs to be set to true - assign default gateway. Whilst you are 
connected, run these commands (as root) and post the output:
/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/route

As well as the initial foreach loop, try running the second loop that allows 
DNS lookups through as well as the two echo statements.
