I am as clueless as you are. ;) However I would do the following: 1) Look at the "My Network places" -> TCP Properties -> and find out the default router and so on. 2) Try dhclient and find if I get the default router on my linux box. 3) Use nameserver as 4.2.2.2 or 8.8.8.8 as DNS More such suggestions. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
