I am using IP Masq as outlined in the IP Masq HOWTO. Although it used to work, now when I initiate a PPP connection with the 'defaultroutes' option I get a log message like "Not setting default route" and none of my masq'ed machines can ping the outside world. The PPP HOWTO says: "...your LAN uses a gateway/router already and your routing table has been set up to point the default route at this. Fixing up this last situation can require a fair bit of IP networking knowledge and is beyond the scope of this HOWTO. It is suggested you obtain some expert advice (via the news groups of from someone locally you can ask)." Ok experts, how am I supposed to set up networking for a home network (only dialup access to Internet) where the Linux box has the modem and is Masq'ing? Does Masq'ing have anything to do with it? Both 'GATDEV' and 'GATEWAY' are null in /etc/sysconfig/network. Thanks! --- Alan D.
