No, the problem is with mick. First I did #ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up Then, #route add -net 192.168.0.0 Then, #route add default ppp0 Routing to mack went fine, but I couldn't get through to the net. The above procedure was taken from the Net-3 HOWTO I'm also not sure about something in pppconfig: it asks you for an IP address, but strongly advises you not to change the 'noipdefault' . It furthermore suggests that if you have a local IP (I read in this: the intranet's IP of your machine, but I could be wrong) and an IP from your ISP, to enter them as 192.168.0.1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where the x-es represent the ISP assigned IP), so separated with a colon. In case you get a dynamic IP from your ISP (which I do), then just use the local IP ending with a colon. I tried both 'noipdefault' and 192.168.0.1: but I am not sure which one actually worked. I simply ping to my provider and then to mack to see if I can get through. The NET-3 HOWTO is pretty clear about the network setup, but I'm pretty new at this and would like some reference. The answer to my first mail already helped a lot, so thanks. Cheerio, Hans
