Then I did: # route add -net 131.181.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 ppp0 # route del default # route add default gw 131.181.142.1 # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 131.181.144.3 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 131.181.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 131.181.142.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 But still no worky! I can see all the web pages on qut's network but nothing outside. Thanks. Mark.
