You almost certainly don't need a default route to your internal network. > All of this is to sya that I can now make it set the route correctly, but > I am still unable to ping anything outside my local network. Set the route correctly as in allow pppd to create a default route to the remote address of the ppp link? > I had previously tried with a preconfigured /etc/resolv.conf file which > contained my domain and nameservers, but I tried the option usepeerdns...

If you that you selected usepeerdns using pppconfig, it didn't overwrite your /etc/resolv.conf (or if it did there's a bug that I need to know about). It swapped it out, and would have swapped it back when the ppp connection went down. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
