However, if you are trying to connect to multiple subnets thro' an internal router networks, then add route entries for each of the subnets you want to access thro wlan0/eth0 to gateways on the LAN. The default route will point to ppp0 and only non LAN traffic will go thro' ppp0. By default, the route entries to the local LAN subnets do not exist and so this problem occurs. Once these routes are installed, access to LAN subnets is not subject to default route whether it is pointing to wlan0/eth0 or ppp0. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
