That doesn't work. I tried putting defaultroute into /etc/ppp/options, but
the result in /var/log/syslog was:
Apr 29 22:38:59 strider pppd[6345]: not replacing existing default route to
eth0 [192.168.1.1]
route -n before running ppp (pon) was:
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
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
and after was:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.34.5 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
from which the internet is not accessible by ppp, of course (I use eth0 at
work, ppp0 from home).
route -n obtained by first removing eth0 with "ifconfig eth0 down" and then
running ppp is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.34.9 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
0.0.0.0 192.168.34.9 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
The only way I know of getting ppp to set itself up properly (apart from
doing a complicated manual configuration of the gateway) is to remove eth0
before running ppp. I do that in a small script and connect via that script.
