Thanks Lauri... that's got me a bit further, but not all the way!
First off, when I run the 'ip route add' command, I get back a message saying:
Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "192.168.1.56/24" is a garbage.
Is this a problem?
Then once I've entered those commands and made the /etc/resolv.conf file, I can
ping 192.168.1.1
and 192.168.1.56 successfully. But if I ping somewhere in the big bad world,
like www.linuxfromscratch.org,
it says that's unreachable (though it does resolve the name, so it must
presumably be
communicating sucessfully as far as my ISP's DNSes). Also wget doesn't manage to
get any files yet. How can I finish this off?
Finally, I'm doing all this at my mum's house. When I go back to my flat
tomorrow, I'll
be seeing a router which apparently likes to be called '10.0.0.2'. Do I just
need to
do the same things but change 192.168.1.56 to say 10.0.0.3?
