try "route add default dev plip0" or "route add default gw IP_remote"
and check if the box you plug it into has ip forwarding enabled, if it
doesn't and your kernel is a stable one try "echo "1"
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" if it's a development one try "echo "1"
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding" then it has to work...
