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.
