I do have two NICS but I think I solved issues with routing and gateways some time ago. I don't bring up eth0 at boot which hardware-wise is the one being used by PPP. Eth1 is brough up at boot and points to the local network. However it's not the default gateway. Netstat -r shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 147dyn1.com21.c * 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0 localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1 default 147dyn1.com21.c 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 ppp0 Should I change things?
