Did you enter the route manually? I suspect the first entry on the first line should be "192.168.0.0" not "..0.1" > 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 eth0 you are also missing the loopback route, I am not sure if this hurts. Hers the route output from my box as a comparison: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ /sbin/route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > > >and ifconfig > > > eth0 Up Broadcast Running Multicast > inet addr:192.168.0.1 > errors:23 Up (all else:0) > > etc. > > Is it IP firwarding I might be missing? Well that machine is not doing any forwarding is it? Just one NIC on one ip address on one subnet. Finally I assume you are pinging by ip number rather than name - make sure you are so as to eliminate dns problems. > > -- > Richard Tindall > InfoHelp Services > -- Nick Rout
