I'm fairly certain that you don't need the GATEWAY=YES option in sysconfig. You _do_ need a kernel compiled with the "options GATEWAY", which is probably already there if dial-in users can reach other hosts on the LAN. Can the PPP server machine ping outside the network? It sounds like the default route on the PPP server machine has been munged. Pppd has an option to set up the peer as the default route, which is useful for PPP clients, but it would screw up routing on a PPP server. Do a 'netstat -rn' and make sure the default route points to your internet router. ===================================================================== | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | | Email: steve@edmweb.com Home Page: http://www.edmweb.com/steve/ | | PGP (2048/9F317269) Fingerprint: 11C89D1CD67287E68C09EC52443F8830 | | -- Disclaimer: JMHO, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, IANAL. -- | ===================================================================:)
