The default route gets a numerical destination value of 0.0.0.0, which
is your eth interface then. Seems to me to be causing the problem.

No, it's part of one of the (I think) 16 consecutive Class B networks?
Definitely free space.

Well, personally I work at my ISP, which kinda gives me a connection
(through some people) to NTS, the people who make the stuff. You'd have
to mail/phone your provider's helpdesk to ask for whether they have also
licensed a linux client. If they did, then you can probably ask them for
it.

Another place to look at: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/
Their client seems heavily 'inspired' by the NTS Enternet software. :-)
Even v1.3 of it. So that might be a good bet otherwise. Plus it's 100%
free.
