An update on this: Pinging directly from the efw box, the curser just sits
there as I mentioned in the previous post.
After unplugging efw and pluging back the D-link router and pinging from a
LAN machine, I get a response. So, WHY is efw not reaching the net ? It is
the same cable, just switching the router (D-link vs. efw). Do I need a
cross-over cable maybe ?

Johannes

PS> Please be patient with my replies, as I have to switch back & force to
get the internet connection.
