I recently did a fresh install of Debian on a machine which serves as the internet gateway for my lan. The version installed was Debian2.2R2. This machine is a dial-up gateway and ip-masquerader for my other machines. The problem is that when I initiate a connection with PON, the PPP0 interface is not properly configured. Route -n shows the ppp0 configured with the same local and remote IP addresses as shown in options.ttyS1. I have used the options 'noipdefault' and 'defaultroute', but the tables are not correctly updated. Viewing the syslog shows that negotiation takes place, and IP addresses are assigned by the ISP. I have read the latest Linux PPP HOWTO from http://www.linuxdoc.org in case of recent changes, but I can't find what I've done wrong. Can someone please help? I'll gladly send any config files and scripts for perusal.
Thanks much, Russ
