Folks,
I fail trying to solve this one myself.
The wvdial session starts fine, pppd session Ok, local and remote access
Ok, DNS set and correct.
Access Web site: no server replies. After a couple of minutes, wvdial exits.
I noticed a default route 0.0.0.0 while the connection is up.
I thought I got it.
But same Ubuntu 7.10 running on my PC (Live) with my HSF modem does just
the same and the connection works.
Also both Guillaume and I do not have defaultroute neither in
/etc/ppp/options nor in /etc/ppp/if-up.d
Guillaume will test later today enforcing a usual default route set to
the remote IP address.
I am stunned to see ETH1 in the following excerpt from /var/log/messages:

Has anybody met such a condition before?
