Observations:
- I need to have both 'auto ppp0' (et al) and 'auto
eth0' (et al) in my interfaces file (/etc/interfaces)
because of my 'dual IP' connection from the router to
the DSL connection (static 172.16... and PPPoE
assigned 64.39...)?!
My ADSL modem (not PPPoE, but perhaps quite similar) also has two IP addresses, one is the proper, routable gateway address that the modem offers to the LAN, the other is a private range 192.168.x.x IP address used to access the modem to check config etc.
That is, the gateway address I have to put in my Bering config files is something like 217.149.x.x, but if I put http://192.168.x.x into a web browser running on any machine on my local net, I find myself at a set of html pages that allow me to check up on my modem config.
Perhaps your modem is similar - one IP address for config, one to be the gateway, in which case you shouldn't have to put the 172.16 address anywhere in your Bering config.
hope that helps
