Explain brefly in the following lines ok: 1. Dial up whith whichever program you like 2. Configure your ethernet card with ifconfig conmmand or atomatically. 3. once you are done # route -n this will show wich is your default gw you can identify it because under the header of "Flags" you will see an UG. 4. Ok now you must delete this gw if it exist if not see the next step: # route del default gw [the address that you get in the step above] 5. Finally you must set your default gw to the address of your ppp0 connection. # route add default gw [your ppp0 ip address] 6. Ping to an internal machine and some external address, it should work # ping [ip internal] # ping www.yahoo.com Note: Do not forget to check that your dns's are working. that is all, you must edit /etc/network/interfaces for do it atomatically.
