[ale] network error

[Joe Knapka]

Tom,

[Assuming the ppp link is your only network connection:]

Be sure that your ppp options include -defaultroute. I don't know
how Kppp works, but there will probably be a file called
/etc/ppp/options that contain the options for pppd.

Alternatively, you can do the following at the command line
by hand (as root):

route add default ppp0

Hope this helps,

-- Joe
