From: mark on 1 Feb 2005 20:21 I'm using earthlink, too with slackware 10. If you can connect to it and it updates dns correctly then, it's pretty much success at hand shaking all that, you shouldbe able to use it. unless you got firewall ruling is up or something and hinders it. I see you got a few network interfaces. try different local number or something, you know another thing, I'm recently experiencing things get dropped in the middle of online session or even beginning of session. I don't mean line, line still is connected but it just not working. got dropped in game, can't explore the web. I just reconnect to earthlink for that events. this is last month I'm using earthlink, i terminated the membership. I thought they do that purposely, cuz i'm heavy internet user with dial up. I've been downloading dial up with bsd cd images all that. link's up almost 24/7 :) well good luck, I know it works with linux. Cuz I'm using earthlink with it ;) earthlink dns: 207.69.188.185 to 187

I wonder if there is a way to keep both > like in Windows? i'm pretty sure there's a way, cuz that 192.168.0.220 is only for eth0 interface, and there should different one for ppp0 when connected to dialup. I'm thinking you're talking about configuring the system as linux box. so your small lan can talk to internet through that system. ip forwarding

Thanks! Now, I need to configure guarddog to stay secured online.

Adding replacedefaultroute to the bottom worked. :) -- "An anthill increases by accumulation. / Medicine is consumed by distribution. / That which is feared lessens by association. / This is the thing to understand." --Siddha Nagarjuna /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant @ The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail.
