If you do not have both, this is the sign that it is not the protocol you use. Have you tried bridged ethernet and static IP? br2684ctl -b -c 0 -a 8.35 && ifconfig nas0 10.200.3.190 netmask 255.255.0.0 route add default gw 10.200.1.1 ping 10.200.1.1 ping 209.85.129.104 ping www.google.com ... > That takes me back to my original posting. > How to confiure PPPoA connection with static IP and static gateway. That's never done that way. Usually, you are authentified with your login / password. Depending of the ISP settings, you receive an IP that is always the same or a different oneat each time. > I know that I can give static IP of my mechine in /etc/ppp/options. Yes theorically like you may have a ppp session without login /password. But we never saw an adsl ISP configured like that. There is a technical reason to authentification the connection on a network shared by different ISP.
