I've now managed to connect to my local provider using pppd/chat. I used 'defaultroute' as a pppd option. When I connect i'm provided with my local ip address, and the host's. I can ping to my own ip address, but pinging the host, or any other ip does not work - I get 'network is down'. I tried 'route add default <host ip>' and also with -hopcount 1 at the end, but I get the same result. Anyone out there help? Thanks Tony
