Fixing the Default Route

From TrryHend@netscape.net

Not able to surf the internet but local network is working fine? Try this (these commands must be executed as superuser):

• Remove existing default route:

  # route del default

• Disable eth0:

  # ifconfig eth0 down

• After eth0 is down connect with kppp & look at your routing table:

  # route

• If kppp is setting the correct gateway to the internet you can bring up eth0 again with:

  # ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.? netmask 255.255.255.0

• There should be a gateway through ppp. If not you might have to add one but you should see it there [output of route command] - the gateway of your ISP. If so, everything should be working again.
