I am working off site with a group of people. We have brought a set of network hubs with us and have a designated machine to act as file server, print server, and DHCP server for our little network. However, because of security concerns, we don't have ethernet access to any other networks; our little network is completely isolated. We each have a modem with which we can dial-up for internet access. However, when I use DHCP on my network card eth0 and attempt to dial-up, pppd is unable to set the default route to whatever the ppp0 gateway should be. If instead of using DHCP on eth0 I assign a static IP, the pppd is able to set the default route, and I can access the internet. Can anyone give me some ideas as to what I need to set to use DHCP on eth0 while dialing up the internet on ppp0 and getting the default route to set dynamically? Thanks, -ronc
