Look at the output of "/sbin/route -n". The default gateway (0.0.0.0) should point to the dialup link (ppp0 ?). There should also be a route to the LAN (192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) that points to the network card (eth0 ?). If you don't have a default route that points to the dialup link, take a look at your PPP settings and add "default gateway" as a setting. If you don't have a route to the LAN, you can add it using the route command, but I think there's also a way to specify the gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. Tony - -- Anthony E.
