I installed again, this time w/o ppp in the setup. Been working on it the 
last few days but still cant get it to work. One question though if you 
might know it...my ISP has a router on 204.244.99.65 and thats the 
gateway. But, when you dial in there are three other cisco routers 
attached to 3 banks of modems. Eahc of these routers has ip's of 
99.74,75,76 and ppp picks up the ip of the router Ive dialed into and 
uses that as a gateway instead. So nothing seems to work. Do I need to 
setup a route from the router Ive dialed into to the main gateway on 99.65?

When things are bieng routed properly do the flags on a netstat -rn sho UGH?
Oh and I can have a static ip of 204.244.99.15 or I can be assigned one 
dynamically..
