After having a lot of problems trying to get my Mandrake 9.0 machine to see the internet, I've finally worked out that I need to manually set the following two "route" commands every time I connect, after I've connected:

route add -host [primary nameserver IP] dev ppp0
route add default gw [primary nameserver IP]

Any idea how I can make these commands permanent so I don't have to reissue them all the time?

I have tried adding lines to ifcfg-ppp0 with no result.

I could of course be going about this the entirely wrong way but at least this works!

Thanks in advance.

Hmm...

Well you could place those commands in an rc.local file (check /etc/rc.local or run a search for this file) and they will start at boot up, after everything else has been started, so hopefully that's a good thing

Cool
