ppp routing issue (maybe)!

[amaj1407]

Hello every one,

I have this little question and I can't find a solution to it, so I hope you will help me.

How to make the internet connection goes through ppp0 instead of eth1 (my wireless card)?

to give you the whole picture, consider the following info:

I am subscribed to secrure-vpn.com service, after connecting to the service and issuing

ifconfig ppp0

I got

ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.113.12  P-t-P:192.168.113.1  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1000  Metric:1
          RX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
          RX bytes:95 (95.0 b)  TX bytes:121 (121.0 b)

So, what I supposed to do to be able to browse the internet via them?

I hope my question is clear. Thanks in advance

what does the command 'route' give you?
This will show which way traffic is being directed.

before connecting to ppp0, I get

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
default         192.168.2.2     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

but after connecting, I get

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.113.1   *               255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
default         192.168.2.2     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

but I can't browse through ppp0.

I tried

ip route replace default dev ppp0

after connecting but I lost my internet connection, so if you know how to correct me please do.

Eth0 is setup as your default gateway. You need to change this if you want to browse through ppp.

You could try the following to change the default gateway:

route del default gw 192.168.2.2
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.113.1

Or you could try to shutdown eth0 and bring up your ppp connection then bring up your eth0 connection.
That might set up your ppp to be the default.
