I'm configuring my linux box as a web server/router for our Netware
lan.
I've finally got ppp connected (and what's more, I even understand
some of it!)  but the only way I can talk to the world is to manually
"route add default gw x.x.x.x dev ppp0".  It doesn't happen even
though I've got the defaultroute line in my pppd script (as per the
HOWTOs).
Also, I can ping and nslookup the world once I'm connected, but I
can't access past the linux box with Netscape running on a Windows
box.  Netscape just times out.
Here's a mud map.

I can access my own www page running on Linux box, but won't access
past the linux box.  But I can ping and nslookup from linux to the
internet.

Any help would be appreciated.
