I have freeBSD 2.2.6 on a dial out gateway using IP aliasing ( A DREAM!!!!!). All works fine for almost all of it. I use the command ppp -ddial internet to start the dialing and all goes well. Now my problem is, I use a "dial out gateway" to provide internet access with my local LAN every thing goes well with that as should be but when the connection goes down due to problems with either line quality or my ISP doing upgrades and such my modem resets and redials the ISP and logs on when it can. This all works fine as is my intention but once the ppp has re-established the connection the default route that gets set up between my ISP and the gateway gets erased and for some reason one of my routes on my ethernet ed0 gets put there and the default route does not get replaced with my ISP's gateway once again. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I have set up my dial up just as the handbook said to and also using the pedantic ppp primer. the only difference is my internal IP's are 10.0.0.x . Is there maybe another add 0 0 HISADDR that I should add to compensate for this? Or since the default route is static ( my IPS never changes the IP to their gateway) can I use add 0 0 and my ISP's gateway? Well Im hoping that some of you know this problem. Seems like a simple fix that I just yet don't understand all the way. =) by the way freeBSD is the best OS Ive used so far. It is the only one that I have accomplished good networking with ease. I use Win95 freeBSD and linux all on my network here. freeBSD is by far the most awesome system by FAR!! well, any help would be appreciated!
