Ok, the way you have it setup, ONLY the one computer will be able to talk to the net. I can see no reliable way for the ISP to setup dynamic NETWORKS... You will be able to access the net only from you gateway machine unless you get a routable sub-net from your ISP. This will entail a dedicated IP on your part, not a dynamic one. > >The default route does get set up. gated and routed apparently >automatically poll the far end of the pt-to-pt link and never get >a RIP response.

Why are running GateD???? The only time I would ever run it is if I had to do BGP4 routing or have a very hairy dynamic setup on my part. With simpe setups, you do not even have to run routed even.
