Good, I notice defaulteroute is in the  commandline.  Your problem most
likely lies with the other default route which points to 192.168.0.1.
Remove this and pppd should be able to add the correct drfault route
when you log in. :-)

Somewhere in your rc scripts, you may a line that looks like:

route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0

Comment it out or remove it altogether.

On Red Hat 4.2, the rc scripts work somewhat differently, and the
relevant place to look is /etc/sysconfig/network.  In this, you'll see:
something like:  (here's mine).

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=enigma
GATEWAYDEV=
GATEWAY=

Notice how GATEWAYDEV and GATEWAY are blank.  They should be in your
case too, if you're using the RH4.2 style rc scripts.

... People will act rationally when all other possibilities are exhausted.
