Thanks for the extra info. In the end I commented out the gateway
stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network and added a defaultroute option to my
ppp startup and it's now working on at least the local machine.
All I need now is to get that gateway working for other machines on
the LAN and I'll be very happy. Can't help feeling that I've missed
something fairly obvious in routing somewhere so will go back and
start working through the network admin guide again for more info on
that side of things.
Cheers, Dave.
