Have you set up your network file correctly?? There is a file in /etc/init.d called network this sets up your network. the file is pretty self explanatory and is easy to reconfigure. Check for a line like: route add -net 192.168.1.0 you might try adding a route like route add -host 192.168.1.2 eth0 This assumes that there is only one ethernet card in your system. Good Luck ,,^..^,, Jeff
