Re: Connected...but not really Mk11...

As I replied to someone (was it you?) about a very similar problem the

to a gateway device and gateway address. The problem is the defaultroute
that has been set up by the Net card, and the ppp connection is not
replacing the default route with the ppp0 interface.
