I've partially licked the delay problem by changing .254 to .54 in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. I no longer need -n to prevent
delay if I have no ppp connection up, but I get a long delay before the first
line displays if ppp is active.
This is current route without ppp up:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
st21s.atlantic. * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default st21s.atlantic. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
default st21s.atlantic. 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
This is with ppp up:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
209.208.25.25 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
st21s.atlantic. * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default st21s.atlantic. 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
I see one of the default entries disappears when ppp is up. According to what
Pierre Fortin has been offering, there's still an unnecessary eth0 entry. The second
line looks to be the extra, and it has an "H" flag missing from his too.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (with .254 changed to .54):
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.54
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.54
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo:
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
/etc/rc.d/rc.local now ends as follows:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.54 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
#/sbin/route add -host 127.0.0.1 lo
#/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.0.54
#/sbin/route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.54
