Actually no. I used white space only. But Gmail wrapped the text and it got messed up. > This output shows that it is "ppp0" which is your WAN port.

But do I need to mention anything for this in my LAN machine?

You should only use the "LAN only" IP addresses like > 192.168.x.x for your lan. Something like 192.168.7.x/255.255.255.0 > should be adequate for your LAN. Yes that was a mistake. Somehow I thought 192.52.* is also a private IP address! Now I have changed the LAN IP as 10.0.0.1. Actually in this context it is little complex. My CentOS desktop has two private addresses. eth0 is connected to the BSNL modem which creates the network 192.168.1.* and eth1 is connected to LAN with the network 10.0.0.*. But when I start the pppd daemon, bsnl assigns another dynamic public ip to eth0. So essentially eth0 will have two ip addresses when Internet is up. But even now I am not able to solve this problem. Thank you for your kind response. -- S.
