I've had some problems when my PCMCIA ethernet card is on and I try to connect to my ISP by modem (ppp). I get messages like 'Network is unreachable'. My /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file set local IP to 10.0.0.2 and I know that pppd assigns a dynamic IP to my machine; it seems this is the problem, but how could I > configurate them correctly? > Thanks in advance! >
The problem is probably related to your having your default gateway set to the local address, and therefore there being no route from the local address to the new ppp address. Since you probably don't need ethernet and modem running at the same time, a solution is to switch off the eth0 temporarily (ifconfig eth0 down) while you use the modem. If you really need both at the same time, you'll have to do something fancy with the routing configuration, which is beyond my current skill. Check your current routing with route -n or netstat -r.
