The PPP adapter is usually a virtual adapter for a VPN connection. Where did
the 192.168.234 address come from? Since it didn't get it via DHCP, it must
have been assigned. What connections are showing in Network Properties? Do
you have a VPN connection to somewhere else on the same box? That's not
something I'd recommend, altough you can do it (I've done it). It takes some
manual setup. If you do, you'll probably need to manually set up your
routing table.
