Subject: ppp dialin: Not setting default gateway
Hi, I'm trying to set my linux box to accept dialin connections. I have
mgetty answering the phone and pppd starting. When a windows box using
Dial-Up Networking calls, it gets the IP which I specified in my
/etc/ppp/options.server file.

However the Windows box gets:

    IP Address:   192.168.1.90
    Default gateway: 192.168.1.90


which is clearly wrong. The default gateway should be 192.168.1.254 but I
don't see anywhere in the PPP docs or any of the HOWTOs how to set that.
I did find a few threads with the help of Google from a few years ago, but
they were all questions without answers.

Has anyone overcome this problem?
