It is about as trouble free as it can be. I need to access my schools data files (research and library databases) and can only do it with a PPP link through their ISP. I can get the PPP setup and making a valid connection, again no real trouble. The problem is that when I access the school server (the school only uses dynamic assignment of address) it goes through the NIC interface. Question is how do I get my browser (or lynx) to work through PPP? It only seems to be able to see the NIC even when I have an open and complete PPP link. Any help or pointers to other info will be geatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
