After switch my home network from dhcp to static ip addresses, I just noticed I can't ping anything; although I can still goto any website and send this email.
I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 router with two computers behind it, on this gentoo laptop I have my wireless card setup as such: iface_eth1="192.168.1.4 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" gateway="eth1/192.168.1.1 If I try something like this, ping tsn.ca I get: PING tsn.ca (199.246.67.211) 56(84) bytes of data. --- tsn.ca ping statistics --- 72 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 71011ms I get: or ping 192.168.1.2 (the other pc on the lan), I get: PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data. >From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable >From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable --- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms , pipe 3 I get same result as above for pinging the router. Did I miss something when setting up the static ip addresses? Tom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
