I have my route table set up as follows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localhost * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 3 lo <my.network> * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 3 eth0 That enables me to use my network, and when I use ppp, I give the defaultroute option so that my external requests go out my ppp connection. You could adjust your /usr/bin/pon and poff if you have a network gateway, so that they remove the default route, and add it again when you are done. if not, this is how you can setup the above: ----/etc/init.d/network--------- #! /bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo IPADDR=[your Network IP address here] e.g. 192.168.0.1 NETMASK=[your networks NETMASK] 255.255.255.0 NETWORK=[your network] 192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=[your networks BROADCAST] 192.168.0.255 #GATEWAY=[not needed] 192.168.0.1 ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} up route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0 #[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 -------------------------- I have commented out the gateway configuration, to that no default route is created.
