[juneau-lug] networking help, please?

Hi,

I finally got my computer running again (yes, it was a bad fan on the 
CPU; it spun, but too slowly), and I decided to install Knoppix instead 
of the redhat 7.x which was on there.  That's when the troubles began.

I can get wvdial to dial gci, but once I'm connected, I can't seem to 
get anywhere.  Can't resolve urls, can't ping anything I know the 
address for (slashdot is 65.35.250.150, I think).  Somehow, it wants to 
use eth0 instead of ppp0.  When I do ``ifconfig eth0 up'', it tries to 
resolve urls, and times out.  When I do ``ifconfig eth0 down'', it tells 
me it can't reach the network.  All the while, I'm dialed into GCI and 
ppp0 is ``up'', according to ifconfig.

Does anyone have a clue about how I tell the box to ignore the ethernet 
card when pppd is active?

Thanks,
Nels
