Hey, Your default getway sholud be your ISP's gateway, not the modem or something like this. When the machine try to send a packet thru that gateway, it moving the packet to the modem and it allow packets going to the gateway. I used to have cables with Motorola Surfboard 4100 and it was greet as long as it held..But if I may give you an advice, you may wish ask your ISP to connect you thry AZTV's NAT, so THERE's router will dial-up and you'll get the real ip (like, 212.143.x.x or something) thru eth0 and won't have to dial and dont need ppp0. Hopefully I helpd, Elad
