Hello,
I am having big troubles using PPP with RedHat 5.1. I set a PPP interface up
using RedHat's Network Configurator. It connects nicely, but the routing is
busted. I removed the default route that was set to eth0 (I do have an
Ethernet card in my machine) and told the Network Configurator to set the
default route on connect. After I connect to my ISP, the routing table looks
like this:
>-------SNIP-------<
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
207.207.199.27 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 1 ppp0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 3 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo
0.0.0.0 207.207.199.27 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 1 ppp0
>-------SNIP-------<
(With 207.207.199.27 being the remote IP address given to me by my ISP)
If I try to traceroute to anything outside the LAN, I see the error of my
ways. The output of 'traceroute 207.207.199.27', for example, looks like
this:
>-------SNIP-------<
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 192.168.1.1 @ eth0
traceroute to 207.207.199.27 (207.207.199.27), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * *
2 * * *
>-------SNIP-------<
It would go on for a while after the '2 * * *'... Obviously, I got something
severely wrong here - and I don't even know which files to attach to give
you a better idea of the situation.
If someone could help me to resolve this problem, I would be most grateful.
TIA,
Juergen
PS: I am desperate! Please help!
