The other is the gateway, and the first is you. That didn't make any sense, did it? Here's what you do: make sure you have a /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file. If not, copy it from /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.sample. If you don't even have THAT, put this in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup: MYADDR: add 0 0 HISADDR That'll setup the route so your machine knows how to get out. At present, you have no route setup form your computer to the other side of the PPP link. > > Please help.
