If the OSA is dedicated (that is, you're not running in a guest LAN) then you should have 10.40.1.22 or 24 as the address and the same netmask, etc. If this *is* a guest LAN and VM is running one of those addresses, then your default gateway becomes whatever VM's interface on that guest LAN is. So you probably need to give the VM stack an interface coupled to the guest LAN at 10.140.2.1 or something, and make *that* address your gateway. What's happening now is that Linux sees a 24-bit subnet, but there's nothing else on it, hence it can't get outside of it, because it doesn't have a router to go through. Adam
