Do you have the "defaultroute" option in your config file ?

route add default gw isp's_ipaddress_where_you_connect_to ppp0

I'm not sure about syntax, but more or less it should do the job (see
man route).

I put it in your dialing-script.

hope this helps

ppp can't add default route if it all ready exists. Have your startup
script remove the default route before it brings up ppp.

Remove the -bogus- portions of my return address!

I wish people would stop asking "what file do I need to edit?" and
look.

So you've got a bogus default route defined? You want to remove it
right.

Just about all configs are under /etc somewhere so...

grep "route.*default" $( find /etc )

Quote:> route add default gw isp's_ipaddress_where_you_connect_to ppp0

That would fail as it would be executed too soon.

If you put this anywhere it should be in your /etc/ppp/ip-up and it
should be:

route add default gw $5

"isp's_ipaddress_where_you_connect_to" is passed to ip-up as the 5th
argument.

Of course this is still only a kludge, and a much simpler kludge is
simply remove the bogus route before you start PPP.

route del default

The real solution is still to remove whatever is creating the bogus
default route in the first place.
