I would look at your routing table. ('netstat -nr') It looks as if your default route is probably set to use the ethernet interface. Something like route del default and then route add default ppp0 or route add default gw your.current.pop.address might fix it. Anyway you want to have just one line starting with '0.0.0.0' in the 'netstat -nr' report. (The former seems to work, but the latter is what pppd sets up.) Normally pppd sets up a default route when it has the option 'defaultroute'. I don't know what is resetting the default route for your ethernet i/f. Maybe you can just make whatever is doing it stop doing it. Nathan Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
