I've got the same problem, I think. I have eth0 configured and when I dial up, the modem seems to connect, but then it doesn't seem to do anything. I've tried setting the gateway by hand, like route add default gw .... and in the netstat the gateway seemed to be there, but it wasn't doing anything anyway. Is that the same in yours? And does anyone know the way to do that automatically? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
