Hi, I'm new to this list so if this is the wrong place to ask this please tell me. I recently bought the Debian CDs and managed to get everything installed. My first project was to get my modem properly connecting to my ISP. After finally getting my modem working and the scripts set up I still have a problem with PPP. After every restart, when I type route -n, I get:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ret Use Iface 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 sl0 Anyway my problem is with the first and third entries. When I use pppd it gives me an error saying the default route has already been set and will not work. When I delete those entries ppp works fine. My question is, when in the init process are these entries being made and how to I get rid of them? I have looked through a lot of the files in /etc/init.d and found nothing. I see no messages about their creation when I type dmesg either. I do know that they are created during the init process because when I delete they reappear after reboot. I realize I could put commands at the end of the init process that would erase these entries but I would rather keep them from happening. I am sort of curious as to what they are as well. I gather that sl from sl0 stands for serial link (got this from ifconfig) but other than that I know nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Avery Fay
