Exactly what did you do here? You should have disabled the default route and added the network and interface addresses. This what I have in /etc/init.d/network: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 /sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 device eth0 Your routing table looks very strange: as if you have given your ethernet interface and the ppp interface the same address. The only place you should put the ppp addresses xxx.yy.zzz.ww and aaa.bb.ccc.1 is in /etc/ppp/peers/provider. Give the ethernet card a non-routed address such as 192.168.1.1 and give other machines on your LAN address on the 192.168.1.0 net. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
