Many thanks, that's got it working. Now I can ping beyond my desktop. I
have given the desktop IP as the gateway. I had to give the IP of eth0 as
the dns on the zaurus. It didn't work when I gave the IP of the desktop as
the dns server at the zaurus' end.
As I said, I am running a caching nameserver on the desktop.
thanks once again,
Sharukh.
