I'm experiencing some trouble with my DSL setup.
Every time after reboot my routing table is using my ppp0 P-t-P
address instead of its inet address.
Which is the correct way of setting routes. Default should go though the
other end of the ppp connection.
$ ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet

I'm not getting any Internet connection by using the P-t-P address.
Only after I delete PPP0 and default gateway route and change them
manually to the PPP0 inet address I get the desired connection.
Weird because that is the *correct* way of doing things.
When I change the routing addresses from 168.100.250.1 to
168.100.249.107 I get:
$ route -e
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
249-107.custome * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0
0 ppp0
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth1
default 249-107.custome 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 ppp0
And everything works fine from here.
Except this is not the correct way...
Is there something with my configuration messed up and I should get a
proper connection through the P-t-P address?
Or is there a way to tell my system it should use the external address
instead?
Are you trying to connect from this machine or some other one off on
eth0 or eth1 network?
