Hi Pim (and Roberto as well :) Thanx for your advide. No, I did not add a default route, but just for pinging a machine in the same subnet (192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101) there should be no need for a default route, right? Under "normal" conditions (e.g. booting with the Debian CD) the NIC receives IP and gateway (for internet access) info from the DHCP server - it just does not work with my own compiled kernel and modules. (But modules are loaded as i stated before.) thanx and ciao, ~klemens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
