Hello folks,

I have setup a local network at home, and one of the machines I also like to
use ppp to my ISP. The problem I had is that I can not telnet/ftp/netscape
out to the internet even though the "ifcofig" shows me the "ppp0" link is
all right. I don't know where went wrong. Would some body please show me

Thanks for your help.

Take a look at http://sunsite.unc.edu/linux and look for information on
"masq". It will explain what you need to do, to get your LAN to talk to the
world.

Also, the thing here is that your default route is set for eth0
and not ppp0. Try typing "route" and see what the default route is set
to.

use "defaultroute" option in your pppd script. Make sure a default route
doesn't exist before pppd starts, though. My setup (stolen from the
PPP-howto, if I remember correctly) includes:

#!/bin/sh
...
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
...
/sbin/route del default
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 38400 connect $DIALER_SCRIPT

And /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer reads:

#!/bin/sh
chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat

I won't disclose the contents of login.chat :-)

Good luck!

Have you got a subnet account with your ISP or are you using
IP-Masqerading?
