When I do a traceroute from my home box to the inet I get through 
192.168.254.254:

montblanc:/etc/ppp # traceroute microsoft.com
traceroute to microsoft.com (207.46.245.222), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  192.168.254.254 (192.168.254.254)  122 ms  136 ms  121 ms

 3  Ge1-2.PASBB2.Pastourelle.opentransit.net (193.251.252.221)  123 ms  119 ms

...

But when I do a traceroute from inet to my home computer the 192.168.254.254 
is missing (as should be!):

It is the P-t-P address of my ppp0. Do I miss something?
