hello :) I have a problem that I know I've solved before, and I feel a bit silly for not being able to figure out again. I went to a coffee house last night and was using their free internet connection. You have to connect to the web by sending an HTTP packet through a web site after saying, "Yes, I promise to be good" in a web form. (It's very similar to what I had to do at the Libre Software Meeting to get my laptop on the web.)
When I got home my "auto" connection to the internet had stopped working. I can still connect to the router, and I can see the router is connected to the world, but I can't connect to the world. I seem to remember having to fix my routing table and that there was a problem with my default gateway, but I don't remember exactly what I'm supposed to do. I've tried flushing all the items from the routing table, I've tried setting up ifconfig with my IP and netmask, but all with no success. Your ideas and pointers are much appreciated! emma -- Emma Jane Hogbin web: www.xtrinsic.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
