You probably don't have a default route.
I had a similar problem with pptp on my new computer. Since no-one on the list was able to solve it, I wrote a script to re-set the default route. I still have no idea why the default route doesn't get set up automatically (as it did on my previous computer). In any case, maybe this script can solve Danny Lieberman's problem. BTW - I'm sure there must be other or better ways to write the script, but it works, and I guess that's the important thing. All the commands used are standard except for splitpea which is a nice file spliiting utility you can get here: http://www.doxxx.net/splitpea.html Here's the script:: #!/bin/bash ## create route command after running pptp ## get the IP addresses and remove extra text ifconfig|grep P-t-P|sed 's/inet addr://; s/Mask:255.255.255.255//; s/P-t-P://' > /tmp/tst-IP ## cut out the inet address so only the P-t-P address is left /home/solomon/bin/splitpea -s --bytes=22 /tmp/tst-IP ## set an ENV variable MYIP=`cat /tmp/tst-IP.002` ## create executable script echo "#!/bin/bash" > /home/solomon/bin/myroute echo "route add -net default gw" $MYIP "ppp0" >> /home/solomon/bin/myroute chmod +x /home/solomon/bin/myroute ## and run it /home/solomon/bin/myroute good luck -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail 1.7.1 (KDE 3.2.3) on LINUX Mandrake 10.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
