Well, it looks like our guess is maybe correct. You have a default
route setup to something on your ethernet both before and after you
connect:
default 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 20 eth0
This is a problem. I assume that you are using Red Hat's netconfig
utility to setup your networking stuff and I am not familiar with
that, so perhaps someone else can tell you want you need to do to
remove that default route.
Now when you connect you are getting a connected route entered into
the table:
206.53.101.252 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
Therefore if you try to ping 206.53.101.252 (or whatever address you
get when you connect) it will probably work and you will probably see
your modem lights flash.
For reference, these are the commands that I use in my startup files
to get my ethernet working:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.3
/sbin/route add -net 10.0.0.0
That adds a route to my network, but not a default route to
anything. Then when I run pppd, a default route is set to SouthWind's
terminal server.
So my route table looks something like this before connecting:
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 7 lo
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 14 eth0
And like this after connecting:
206.53.100.251 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 7 lo
10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 14 eth0
default 206.53.100.251 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 2 ppp0
As I said, if you are using netconfig, I am kind of stuck, but I hope
this gives you some ideas.
Good luck.
