There are two ways i see: 1. Make your defaultroute to 10.0.0.1 have an higher metrik than the ppp route (which translates to ethernet defaultroute is more expensive than the ppp route, this makes the network subsystem to chose the ppp route if awailable). 2. Somewhere in your system there are ppp-up and ppp-down scripts. You can make them to tear down the 10.0.0.1 defaultroute on ppp-up, and set it up again on ppp-down. Anyway, is the 10.0.0.1 pointing to the internet, or is the ppp conection needed for that ? or is it even vice versa ? In principle you need the 0.0.0.0 Gateway only for the Internet. A local network is better described by using a Gateway 255.255.0.0 which would mean, that all packets whith targets in the range of 10.0.xxx.xxx are send to the ethernet device. cheers jan > > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ /sbin/route -n > > > >Kernel IP routing table > > > >Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref > > > > Use > > > > Iface > > > > > >145.253.1.121 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 > > > > 0 > > > > ppp0 > > > > > >10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 > > > > 0 > > > > eth0 > > > > > >0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 > > > > 0 > > > > eth0 > >
