When you establish an eth0 or diald connection, one or the other is identified as your gateway connection. Frexample, my home setup is: .--------. .-------. (~~~~~~~~~~~~~) | | | | ) ( | navel | | jung | ( Internet ) | eth0 ===== eth0 | ) ( | | | modem ======== ) `--------' `-------' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My routing table on navel is specifies the *internal* network as the gateway: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface introspect jung 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 introspect * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default jung 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ...whereas if I were to fire up the modem on navel, I'd assign *it* to be the default (gateway) route.
