These IP addresses are wrong. They should be
<local_IP_address>:<remote_IP_address>. So they should look something
like:

140.172.10.48:140.172.10.103

and 

140.172.10.103:140.172.10.48

There shouldn't be three IP address between the two stanzas. Also, you
only need to set the IP address on one side of the link. pppd will tkae
its IP address from the remote end.

Take care,
