You are adding a default route to your LAN. pppd sees this and refuses to add a default route to the ppp link, and so your packets get sent to the LAN. There is no reason to have a defaulte route to your LAN unless it has a gateway on it and you must send stuff past the gateway, but then you probably wouldn't be using ppp. Comment out the line I quoted above. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
