[plug] Default Route, ppp, LAN

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

Create 2 separate connections and make the default gw as part of the 
connection.

I run Fedora which is basically red-hat.  So for me where the "script" 
is for my network connection I have eth0 and then another eth1 
connection.   Since I use a laptop my only problem is drivers.  However 
that seemed to work for me.

e.g. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
Thats where the network scripts are on my system.
The two files are:
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth1
ifcfg-ppp0
ifcfg-lo

I don't know what system so I can sorta help any further since some or 
most systems are different and similar in there own way.
