Re: need help on setting up a ppp connection
I'm not going to try and work out which machine you are listing these
on or which machine(s) you are trying to dial out of, but I'll just make
a couple of general points.
1) do you have defaultroute set on the ppp machine?
Quoting Bill Shui (wshui@mail.com):

> 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
> 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
2) if ppp starts when this gateway is present .....^
it will say "ppp not replacing existing default route to eth0"
and you won't get your default route through ppp0.

You don't need a gateway to get to 192.168.1.0 ....^
because you're already connected to this net.
