You are right, setting the gateway to anything that 192.168.0.1 solved the problem like 192.168.0.2. I can not have the gateway set to 192.168.0.1 as the device I'm trying to access is hard coded to this IP. In addition somebody recommend setting the sub-net to 0.0.0.0 which didn't work for me. -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
