I am attempting to use a linux box to act as a router to my isp via a ppp
connection.

here are the details

my subnet is 207.3.226.200 with a mask of 255.255.255.248
my ethernet card in this box will be 207.3.226.201

my ppp connection is fixed at 207.3.226.199 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0
but when I connect I seem to get a netmask of 255.255.255.248.  How can I
override this?  My isp has it correct on his end but my linux box seems to
not take the correct info.

as i am very new to this I am unable to set the routing table properly on my
end and do not know what to have my isp do.

Can anyone assist me?  Am I on the right track?
