Hello, I'm having problems using my dial up modem and ethernet at the same time. This is a real bummer because I'm trying to set up a router/firewall, but I think I need to work this out first! ;-)
I've found that I need to remove an iptable routing entry for the ethernet card in order to be able to use the modem. And it is imperative that I remove that iptable entry before I dial up. Here is what I've done to get it to work: -------------- The default: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 I have to run the following **before** I dialup or else I won't be able to ping anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route del default gw 192.168.0.1 Then I can dial up and connect: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pon # dials the modem, etc [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 169.237.17.97 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 169.237.17.97 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 ----------- Does this seem normal? To me, what I've done seems like a crude work- around. Is there a better way to allow the modem and ethernet to live together in peace? Thanks for any advice!
