[techtalk] PPPd, pcmcia network, debian, clueless

[Phil Savoie]

Hi Sunnanvid,

You could try the following:

In your /etc/ppp/options file try

ipcp-accept-remote
ipcp-accept-local
defaultroute

This should allow your host to accept what your isp is giving you for 
defaults and allow the isp to temporarily override your default route.  You 
may also may want to manually take out your default route as well.

Phil
