Re: [aclug-L] Dumb Question #137 : Southwind Connect

["Carl B. Davis" <cdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I removed eth0 as the default route, and replaced it with nothing.  I
did the ifconfig and route commands.  route took about 5 minutes to
complete. The first two are without being connected to southwind using
PPP.  The second two are with the connection made.  After I took out the
default route eth0, I tried to connect and ping to southwinds ip address
and to use netscape.  Nothing.  The lights on my modem don't flicker and
clearly they are not communicating through my connection.  Following are
the results of ifconfig and route:
