Michael,

	I will try this. I have tried some other variations of route default. Like
I say:

	route add default

and get:

	SIOCADDRT: network is unreachable

Or I try:

	route add net 

and get

	Net: host name lookup failure

	The problem is I think is I am not running an network. I am not connected
to a network other than through PPP and my ISP. I get a good connection and
can stay connected just fine. The problem is I can not get past the Host.
When I try pinging I can ping my host but no where else. I did see in my
plog, CCP: Timeout sending config-request. I have also tried the "route -n"
and get "no default route".

	I have printed out your other message and will try all that. Am having to
switch back and forth as under debain, I am unable to connect to the net.
So have to shutdown and boot up "the bad word" and see if I can get any
more help. But thanks for yours and Bill's help and the others that have
written. 

	I'll be back....

Mike
