Re: Routing and Mgetty problem

Hi All,
   After consulting the PPP HOWTO for further info, I am
still up against a brick wall. At present this is what
happens....

    The use default gateway setting has been checked and is
correct.

    If either of these are changed, the following occurs:
xxx.xxx.218.118 changed - no problems login O.K.
xxx.xxx.218.121 changed - local IP AND Gateway addresses on
dialin machine become this IP
client IP changed to ppp1 (interface to be used -
recommended in PPP HOWTO) user thrown off system immediatly
after login.

    If the IP address is removed from here, the user is
immediately thrown off after login. Any ideas?
    Cheers!
