I am just installing a new 2.2.1 system, but am having some problems with the networking. The machine is to be a gateway connected to the Internet via ppp and to a local ethernet network. The first problem is that I have to manually insert a default route using ppp's add command every time I connect. I have a "0 0 HISADDR" line in ppp.linkup, but it does not seem to make any difference. When I type ppp ON> add 0 0 203.63.80.130 <- being the addr of the router I dial into I can reach the greater internet, but not the rest of the local ethernet. (packets destioned for the ethernet now go out the ppp interface.) I really need to use something like the HISADDR macro, because I dont know exactly which router I will reach when I dial in. I also thought that addresses on the local ethernet should not need a route - that they would be visible and reachable automatically.
