Massive posts and re-posts deleted.
1) Default route and pppd.
file: /etc/ppp/options
look for a line that has "defaultroute" alone in it. If you do not have a
line like that, add it. This forces pppd to add the remote end of your
ppp link as a default gateway. Note that you can have multiple default
gateways.
2)DNS requests from applications like netscape etc.:
file:/etc/resolv.conf
Add "nameserver" entries if you don't have them. nameserver <ipaddress of
DNS server>
nameserver <ipadress of another DNS server>
Example:
nameserver 142.77.1.1
nameserver 142.77.1.5
3) Firewalls: this depends on the distribution you are running. Either I'm
blind or you didn't have that info. It can cause some consternation,
especially if it is improperly setup. use iptables -L -n or ipchains -L -n
.
