I'm not going to try and work out which machine you are listing these
on or which machine(s) you are trying to dial out of, but I'll just make
a couple of general points.

1) do you have defaultroute set on the ppp machine?

Quoting Bill Shui ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

> 0.0.0.0         192.168.1.3     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

2) if ppp starts when this gateway is present .....^
it will say "ppp not replacing existing default route to eth0"
and you won't get your default route through ppp0.

You don't need a gateway to get to 192.168.1.0 ....^
because you're already connected to this net.
