Try these settings.

(if I understood correctly.... Udo is using something similar to this)

--- in arachne.cfg ---
[profile]
Profile ara-rtr.ACF
Connection READY
Hangup NULL

[dialer]
Dialer NULL

[tcp/ip]
IP_Address WATTCP ;<-- 'WATTCP' here ignores all other settings in
             ;arachne.cfg and uses the info in the TCPconfig file instead
IP_Grab IP address set to
NameServer
AltNameServer
Gateway 0.0.0.0
AltGateway 0.0.0.0
Netmask 255.255.255.0
TCPconfig PPPRTR.CFG

--- in ppprtr.cfg ---
my_ip = dhcp              ;<-- use DHCP to get IP and DNS
