firstly, to add a default route I use # route add default gw <gateway-ip> secondly, I think you have to make the _other_ end of the connection the default route, not your end (ie, not your card, but the aDSL pppoe end) There are pppoe tools to do this. > Firewalling had no problems adjusting rules for the device, which again makes > me question the route error above.
