To display the route table, as user root use the following command; route -e This does not fix your problem but will be usefull for debugging. There are usefull examples of routing commands in the route man pages. A tip; To read man pages in a more user friendly format, open (if availiable) the konqueror web browser and in the url bar type # followed by the name af the man page you wish to view.
