Thanks Parker and Wayne,
I thought that 80.x address looked a little suspect. I tried grabbing my
external IP as suggested parker and it's different to both the addresses
listed in the ppp interface and as expected doesnt allow me to connect :-s
Well, at least I know it's the service provider which needs to be spoken to
now to see if there is anything they can do about it, if not then I'll have
to take my business elsewhere ;-)
Thank you guys for your help!
Rob

You are getting a 10.0.0.0 address which is RFC1918, so yes it is being
NAT'd.
Check your address as it appears to the outside world, like this:
curl http://checkip.dyndns.org
If you don't have curl installed. Try wget:
wget -qO /tmp/checkip.html http://checkip.dyndns.org && cat
/tmp/checkip.html
