netstat may be trying to use reverse DNS, which may be (mis)configured.
Try 'netstat -nr'.
ping might be trying the same thing.
What seems a little strange is that the two machines don't seem to agree on
the addresses at either end of the link. Could you have something
misconfigured? (duh) I think you should be aiming for 10.0.0.2 and
10.0.0.3. You might want to try hardcoding the "local IP address" in pppd.
