Hello-
Is this the command that i need to get access the network:
route add default gw <gateway ip of isp>
These are the results of ifconfig and route commands after being dialing up
to my isp:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
<ip address 1> * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:<ip given from isp at work> P-t-P:<ip address 1>

Try adding "usepeerdns" to the /etc/ppp/options file. You will also need
to setup a route for this connection. You can either find out the subnet
and add the appropriate route command to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local or add
"defaultroute" option to the ppp options file.
If you choose the latter, then you will need to reset the default route to
use eth0 after the ppp connection is dropped. One way to do that is to add
a route command to /etc/ppp/ip-down.local.
man pppd
man route
