I was just going through yesterday's digest, and appologize for sending
a Linux related question :-(
PROBLEM:
When connected through kppp (Mandrake 8.1, external modem) I am not able
to reach any external address except the remote IP of my ISP dialup --
reason: all other requests use the IP of my local eth0 as return
(192.168.1.11)
Everything works fine if I 'ifdown eth0' before dialing and 'ifup eth0'
after I have connected. Really! -- please consider that in your response.
QUESTION:
Which process/conf-file is responsible for directing a request for an
external connection to ppp0, while, lets say 'ping 192.168.1.xxx' goes
through eth0 ?
(I have tried subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.0.0)
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- For the problem it doesn't matter if I ping a domain name, a clear IP,
or an IP I have alias'd in my /etc/hosts (see ping report)
- ping report follows
- ifconfig status follows
- kppp negotiates with my ISP and temp. modifies resolve.conf (see below)
- I had that problem a couple of weeks ago ... but it 'magically' went
away after I had changed my local eth0 IP to a slightly different number
... now it came 'mysteriously' back after I added a new user and use kppp
as such.
Hopefully that's enough info (right kbob? - you suggested to post this)
