The easiest way of doing it is to add >defaultroute to the pppd parameters. My mistake in posting. I either remember to use defaultroute or I add it afterward using route add etc... If I forget the to set up ppp as the default reoute it complains that there isn't a route to the host I want 'no route to host'. Even after I fix the routes it can't see anything other than the server box. It just sits there a while and then times out. I suspect the server isn't set up right... Is there anything on it that needs to be working a certain way, other than using proxyarp in pppd? -matthew
