I have a notebook with both LAN and Modem options. When I am connected to our local LAN I have to specify the GATEWAY option in /etc/sysconfig/network file to be able to reach outside addresses (I have a static IP address). When I am away I PPP into my office machine, which works fine EXCEPT if I do not remove the GATEWAY= line from the above file my default route is messed up. When I remove it everythign works fine. This happens despite the fact that eth0 networking is OFF when I connect to using PPP. Naturally with PPP the default gateway is my office machine. Shouldn't it be such that stuff defined for eth0 connection should not be used for ppp0. For ppp0 I define my local and remote IP address in the ppp options file. The only thing needed are the nameserver stuff from resolv.conf file. Am I doing something wrong or is there a simple solution to this problem? Thanks
What happens if you put the GATEWAY in your ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever) file?
The same thing....the route points to the eth0 route instead of the ppp server.
