It's done!!! OK, tried disabling the firewall and that's what I got: ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted. So I checked in groups.google and that was some hint the machine and it's gateway are in different subnets. I should either make sure they are in the same subnet or enable ip forwarding. And with your hint to enabling ip forwarding in /etc/sysconfig/network plus the GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 now everything is working! Thanks a lot to all. I haven't used dial-up modems for quite a few years and my parents were almost losing trust in me as the modem didn't work out of the box. Thanks again. Marcio Cordero
