Re: [Plug] ppp and ethernet with SuSE


My guess is you need to check the route.

Try route -n and look at the gateway.

My machine behind an ipmasq gateway:
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        4
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        5 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    1      0      549
eth0

The ipmasq gateway:
