subject: Re: [OS2HW] OT - Win dial-up

Well it appears to me that you are connected to a local network as well 
as the PPP dial-up.

The issue may be which "default" gateway is being used ! Although 
Windows is listing two default gateways - one on your local 
(192.168.1.x) network and one on your dial-up network, you can't have 
two "defaults" ! How does the IP traffic know where to go ??

The way it works (apologies if you already know this), is that when the 
IP Stack is given an address to transfer data to/from, it first looks at 
the address and if it is an address that is within the subm\net range of 
a network port on its system, it goes there. If the address it needs to 
go to is not within the range of any of the networks the system is 
directly connected to it goes to the default gateway and hope the data 
will then be correctly routed to the destination.

I suspect the local network default router is being picked up here 
192.168.1.1 rather than your ISPs router (also called gateway) at 
65.138.114.86. As there is no path from you local network to the 
internet, you get no internet access.

To prove this is the problem, simply disconnect the system from your 
local network, restart the system and see if then you have internet 
access. If this works, the way to fix this is to give your internal 
network card a fixed, not DHCP address. For example 192.168.1.20 with a 
subnet of 255.255.255.0 and NO Default gateway/router. Leave out any DNS 
  and WINS entries as well - the system will pick these up from the ISP 
configuration along with the (correct) default gateway address.
