Someone else suggested making ppp the default. I suggested adding a static route so that only traffic to the isp would go over ppp0: > > > > > > route add -net 130.2.0.0 dev ppp0 In my suggestion the default route remains eth0. The only time a web page would be returned over ppp0 is if the web browser was on 130.2.x.x. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED]
