Hi, I successfully installed my Sagem F@ST USB Modem and am able to connect to the internet without any problem until i connect my ethernet cable! Once i connect to my LAN all my apps stop using the ppp0 to access the internet but start to use eth0 instead and there is no internet in eth0. Here is where i found out how to install my Modem:

My problem is that i am not able to browse the internet as soon as my eth0 gets connected!
An information that can be useful though is that when i first installed my fedora core 5 i used another computer with win xp to connect to the internet and I was updating my FC5 from that connection itself.

Can someone tell me how to make my internet connection and ethernet connection work without any problem?

Maybe try to use the "route" command.

How do i use that command?
I cannot specify a fixed ip for ppp0 as the ip address i get is changed every 6 hours from my internet service provider. Perhaps you could explain how to use that as the manual is too technical for me!

/sbin/route add default dev ppp0

Thanks I did that yesterday! But i am having another problem! When i do init 3 then i do init 5 again the same problem arises once more and i have to close all my connections and do it all over again! Any suggestions?

Maybe put this command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or some other custom init script.
