Tom, I would guess that your problem is due to having both devices initialized when only one is actually connected. Due to the change to a static ip, eth0 will be initialized whenever the nic drivers are loaded, regardless of whether or not eth0 is actually connected to the network. To test this possibility take down eth0 when you are trying to use just the wireless connection with 'ifconfig eth0 down' and then ping the router. For a bit more in depth explanation see my responses below.

For example your ping results:

Your routing table confirms this: > 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 > eth1 As an aside you are unable to ping tsn.ca because it doesn't appear to respond to icmp echo requests. From my machine: $ ping -c4 tsn.ca PING tsn.ca (199.246.67.211) 56(84) bytes of data. --- tsn.ca ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3013ms but... $ ping -c2 www.google.com PING www.google.com (216.239.51.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.239.51.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=89.0 ms 64 bytes from 216.239.51.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=88.0 ms --- www.google.com ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1005ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 88.007/88.505/89.003/0.498 ms Hope this helps, Doug -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
