(ASCEND) P75 on the internet: beginning routing question




I have a P75 and want to use NAT to get on the net from my NT/win 95
network.

I have static addresses on both sides, including a static IP from my ISP.

the 0.0.0.0 route always comes up with no gateway, which i assume is a
problem.  when i try to add the static ip address from my provider as the
gateway for that server it calls the route local.  when i try to ping a
remote address the 127.0.0.1 address responds.

also, i can't get the router to dial automatically.  is that supposed to
work in PPP?  or just MPP?

i've read the routing 101 at the ascend site and searched around, but can't
quite get this figured out.  also, my provider says the gateway on his end
should be assigned dynamically because it's subject to change.  right now i
hard coded it in connections->name->ip, but i don't see it anywhere in the
routing table.

the only thing that does seem to work is dns resolution.  as long as i'm
connected i can fail to ping things by name instead of address.

here's my routing table when i'm connected:

0.0.0.0/0          -               wanidle0 Sn       0   1       0    1677

192.168.128.124 is the routers IP address on the local side, the
198.59.115.129 is the address on the remote side.
