I'm on a Suse ATM[1], but as I do my networking config "by hand" that should not matter. Above looks wrong. It should look like: # route -n 161.184.0.199 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 [or:161.184.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0] 0.0.0.0 161.184.0.199 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ your ppp assigned P-t-P gateway flag So, have a look at how the route gets set. Manually, a # route del default # route add default gw 161.184.0.199 should suffice. Don't know the 'ip' syntax, but luckily that doesn't matter, as both commands just push stuff to the kernel ;) Looking at my much outdated gentoo's /etc/conf.d/net.eth0, that'd have to be in your /etc/conf.d/ppp0 (or current equivalent) ==== routes_ppp0=( "default via 161.184.0.199" ) mtu_ppp0="1492" ==== No idea at all how this is handled with dialup on gentoo. When I still used dialup (>10 years ago, IIRC?), I used wvdial, since then, I used my own shell-scripts for DSL calling ifconfig/pppd (with pppoe at first). The scripts/config-files should still be somewhere on disk ;) If in doubt, do as I do, write your own script containing the relevant commands to get "your internet" up and running. Even if it'll just be for future reference in case of trouble. >(also from the ubuntu side) >root@gnubu:~# ifconfig ppp0 >ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol > inet addr:161.184.44.73 P-t-P:161.184.0.199 Mask:255.255.255.255 > UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 ^^^^ That MTU is IIRC too big for PPP.
