[ale] Default route problem?

[charrig at earthlink.net (Calvin Harrigan)]

Hi all,
	I've recently set up redhat 8.0 on a laptop.  Everything is working 
fine.  All drivers for all devices.  My question is in regards to 
automatically changing the default route for the network.  There is a 
network card setup for dhcp, it works fine.  Problem is that sometimes I 
need to dial up to an isp to access services that are not available on the 
lan.  Dialing up works fine, I get connected but I can't get any traffic to 
flow through it.  If I disconnect the lan cable I cannot access the 
internet at all.  The only way I've found to make it work is to stop the 
network {/etc/init.d/network stop} before dialing out using kppp.  I've 
gone as far as setting up kppp to stop and start the network when I'm using 
it.  That feels more like a kludge than a fix, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Calvin
