help needed with internet connection


Hi,
I am trying to solve his for a while; I hope someone can help.
I have Mandrake 9.1 and have an ethernet card working (eth0) and a adsl speedtouch modem using usb.

Both where running ok on one occasion.

The problem is when I want to connect to the internet, it is trying to do so using eth0, and not the usb modem.

So my question is really:
1) Is there in Mandrake something like a dial-up icon (or command), so I can select the usb modem as dailer to internet?
2) If not, how else can I achieve to get internet running.

The hardware settings are ok, since they worked before (probably by accident)

help appreciated
Patrick

It soiunds like a routing problem.
Try:
route

You will probably see that it is using eth0 for the default gateway.

Hi,
I set the default gateway to 192.168.1.1 and it works indeed.
It still baffles me why Mandrake says it's connecting through eth0 and not the usb device.

Anyhow thanks
