[Gllug] networking problem

[Mark Preston]

Hi Bruce,
Re:-
 >What does the routing table look like on the 1.1 box?  What are the
 >options set up for ppp?  And which distro is this?
There were no options set for /etc/ppp/options.
I am using Mandrake 9.0
Your pointers have helped me solve the problem Bruce, although like many 
things to do with Linux I'm still not quite sure how! Anyway, for those 
who might be interested below is a brief outline of what I did. I'm sure 
there's room for improvements.
As a result of your enquiries I did the following (logged in as root):-
Output from /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

#cotents of /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false
HOSTNAME=z.l.p
DOMAINNAME=l.p
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

After changing the cotents of /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=true
HOSTNAME=z.l.p
DOMAINNAME=l.p
DEVGATEWAY=ppp0

and using kppp to connect I now get output from /sbin/route -n
once I have connected.

I can now happily surf the internet using this connection.
Thanks once again,
Regards,
Mark
