dear all, I tryed the commands: route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 de0 route add default ppp0 (I'm using Linux too and this commands did work). Why I get the failure netmask: wrong option and ppp0 wrong interface? I've still setup pppd and it works! Could anyone send my the correct syntax of the above commands? thx!, oliver
