PPP IP Address Definition (continued)
Default Gateway
Check this box if you want the IP address of the foreign host to which the PPP network
interface is connected to be used as the default gateway. The default gateway will be set
after the PPP network interface has been opened and successfully connected to its peer.
The default gateway is used to identify the network interface through which packets are
to be sent if the destination IP address is not otherwise known. Such packets will be sent
out this PPP network interface using the remote peer as the default gateway.
There can only be one default gateway in the system. The first network interface to
successfully declare its gateway address as the default will be used as the gateway.
Note
The IP address, remote IP address and default gateway
parameters for this PPP network can also be edited using
the PPP Options Dialog. Select the Edit: Network radio
button and click on the PPP Options... button.
