[olug] debian/ipfwadm problem; was: can't ping winbox

No.

That's for the Linux system's default gateway, which is set by the ppp
dialing stuff when you dial in.

The only reason why you would have a GATEWAY= line on an older Debian
install is if the Linux box has (as far as it's concerned) a dedicated
connection (via ethernet or whatever) to the internet.
