Unless you have a totally flat network (ie, everything on one segment, a Bad Idea), then this is the missing piece. This Linux doesn't know how to reply to things that aren't on it's own subnet without a default gw. Check 'ifconfig -a' to make sure the broadcast address is correct for the subnet it's on (should be the same as any other machine on that network), and check 'netstat -r' to ensure you have a default route (it'll show up as a route for 0.0.0.0) If the output from ifconfig looks ok, then use 'route add default x.y.z.q metric 1' and you should be up and running. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
