Well the home-lan (and the other one) has a static IP and thus a fixed gateway and the kppp dial-in ISP naturally has dhcp. As to the gui tool; guuuuuuhhh!! I hate it and never use it nor the profiles. Much too slow to startup and clunky=:o( I just do "ifconfig eth0 xx.xx.xx.xx up" to navigate the lan and "route add default gw xx.xx.xx.xx" to set the gateway out. All this is as su/root and without the quotes=:o) Then lastly: "echo nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx >/etc/resolv.conf" (where xx.xx... is the same as the gw) if /etc/resolv.conf isn't appropiately set. All this takes about 5 - 10 seconds, noway you can beat that with the gui via MCC.
