Hi guys At work I have my Linux laptop on the network with a static IP
X.X.105.30 When I dial-in I am given another IP address X.X.143.187 Most things work, PROXY for websurfing, DNS, but if I wan't to access my email thorugh sylpheed, or ping the mail server X.X.104.13 it always trys to connect through eth0 (X.X.105.30). If I ifdown eth0 then it only uses ppp0, which is fine unless I want to access something via eth0. What IPTABLES or route commands would I need to use to enable it to use ppp0 as the interface that it connects through instead ? I have the same problem, if I use my home box for internet connection sharing from Win 2000, via a network crossover cable to my laptop. This uses 192.168.0.1 for the Win 2K and an IP alias on my laptop 192.168.0.4 on eth0:0 Obviously I can't ifdown eth0 as I lose all connectivity.
