Serial Modem

[Guest rlcarl]

I have a USR 56k serial modem. I can connect to the ISP then nothing after that. I tracked it down to the eth0 setting a default route. When I delete the default everything works. How do i correct this?

Is

defaultroute

in your /etc/ppp/options?

 

Open a terminal and type

man route

There should be a few choices for you there. There's a way to set the default, and I think if you

/sbin/route del default

and then add

defaultroute

to /etc/ppp/options and crank up the modem, it should do it. If not then the eth0 is in a startup script somewhere, would be my guess.

 

You could also try to add

/sbin/route del default

to a startup script like /etc/rc.d/rc.local?? There's probably a place for the net script stuff, or use linuxconf to set the default.

 

Just some ideas?? I don't use ethernet, it's not even in my kernel.
