Go to google and enter: "ppp problems site:nclug.org".

I set up the search engine for BLUG years ago, and it's kind of a pain to
deal with.  I personally never use it, but find that BLUG comes up
suprisingly often in the google searches I do.  These days, that's what I
recommend for searching a specific site.  Google rocks.

The thing I'm most happy with these days is the "spelling correction"
stuff.  Where you enter something wrong, and google makes a suggestion
about the right spelling.  Yesterday I used it specifically to find out how
to spell "Brian Boitano" ("He'd surely kick an ass or two, that's what Brian
Boitano'd do").
