Re: dial up with winxp

How is your server configured to give out ip addresses and such?  (I've never configured pppd.)

How is the client being configured in the Internet Connection Wizard?  Are they using "Connect to the Internet" or "Connect to the network at my workplace"?

One thing you might be able to do as a workaround is add a persistant default route to the dial-in network with a lower priority than the network connection.

Subject: dial up with winxp


My dial-in server is a suse 8 linux box running mgetty and pppd.  All of
the windows 98 clients that dial in have no problems.  We have just
added a winxp pro laptop at a remote worksite.  The problem is the winxp
machine cannot get to the internet.  After looking into the problem I
find that the 98 clients seem to be automagically adding the remote
machines (dialin server) default route (just like it's supposed to) but
the winxp machine doesn't care that I have "use default gateway on
remote network" checked.  If anyone has seen this before I would love to
hear input on the situation, thanks.

Bob
