I've posted a few problems to this list to no solution. It seems that my rules
are set up right and everything is compiled into the kernel and working OK, but
still no packets get from ppp to eth and vice versa in my RedHat 6.2 box. The
other box is a Windows 98 on my local LAN and all that works well. From the
PMfirewall list I've received some comments that my routing table is not
correct, but I've been unable to correct it. 

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
63.252.247.45   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         63.252.247.45   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

You will notice that the 63.252.247.45 ppp0 address is added when ppp
initializes and the default route is run from the ifcfg script and it is also
the gateway to 0.0.0.0. That is not my local address, but the remote IP of my
ISP. It's the P-t-P address. I don't see my local address in the routing table,
but it is available from ifconfig. My masq firewall rules grep the local ppp
address for the external interface from ifconfig. Do any of you see a routing
problem here? Should 63.252.247.45 be added as host and what should the
gateway to 0.0.0.0 be? And do I even need the eth0 192.168.1.1 host IP in the
routing table? Thanks.
