First, fire up a terminal and, as root, type 'route del default' then
return.This will delete the default route that has most likely gotten
set up. Then, if this machine is only connecting via ppp, you can turn
off the default route by editing /etc/sysconfig/network and making sure
the GATEWAY= and GATEWAYDEV= have no entries. Also make sure that the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files has an empty GATEWAY=
entry.This way ppp will be the default route at boot rather than your
eth0 interface.
