Wired network problem in Ubuntu (gusty)


Hello,

I am on a wired network using a PPPoE connection. The problem I have, is that ubuntu (gusty) configures all my LAN applications (Games, Messengers, etc.) to use my ppp0 address, and not my eth0 address. Hence, the other LAN boxes take a lot of time to show up. This is the only problem keeping me from using Ubuntu full-time. If I try doing a ping sweep with nmap, I can see them up. Below is most of the information you will be needing...

Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
25.1.1.2        *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
10.0.0.0        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0
default         *               0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0

Didn't get it

Hello, first of all, what do you really want to do? Sorry but I couldn't understand what's your goal... could you post a route output though?

How do you mean, the other LAN boxes take a long time to 'show up'? Do you mean in network under places menu? if so, please look at your ppp adapter setup, and see if you can include the static ip's of your LAN devices.
