Modem access as well as network access

NelsonN · 11-28-2003, 08:28 AM

I will refrase my question, what steps do I need to follow to be able to dial-in to my ISP using kppp, even thou I also have network access to the Internet?

I am running Mandrake 9.2 and I have installed an external US Robotics 33.6k fax modem. I can dial-in to my local ISP but Mandrake does not route Internet traffiic thru my modem when I dial-in, it always uses my network access.

In KPPP you should click Setup, select an account then click edit, click on Gateway tab, and make sure the check box "Assign the default route to this gateway" is checked.

I had that option already set. Any other ideas?

Does kppp actually set the default route? After you dial the isp type route and post the results.

Code:

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.0.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         <isp-gateway>    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0

It may be that you have 2 default's, in that case you'll need to edit your ifup-ppp script to remove the eth0 default, and edit ifdown-ppp script to add the eth0 default.

Network Access
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

After dial-in
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.50.2.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

I checked via Mandrake Control Center and I only see one default, I did create a modem profile, but that was after I was having problems.

Well kppp is not making ppp0 the default route for some reason. You can do it yourself and if it fixes your problem then just do it from the ifup-ppp script.

route add default gw <ppp0-gw>

Like I said you may need to remove the other default.

route del default eth0
