I've setup my dial-up connection with pppconfig so to get online I type
"pon iol". I've given my
normal user account access to do this also but everytime I connect I
still have to change to root and
add the default gw otherwise I can't ping anywhere. The default gw being:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
*inet addr:194.165.160.102* P-t-P:194.145.128.243
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:136 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2
TX packets:123 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
RX bytes:70775 (69.1 Kb) TX bytes:6201 (6.0 Kb)
The bit in bold there and since this changes everytime I connect, I have
to change it manually.
Maybe I should get the latest version of pppconfig? - Anyone know good
apt sources for Debian Woody 3.0 testing/unstable?
Any help appreciated
