I predict you have a line from VSNL!! :P How did I know that? Well the IP 203.199.24.154 belongs to VSNL. Now why are you getting THIS IP while pinging 10.0.0.8? Well, its YOUR fault ;) You've told the routing table to use 192.168.0.254 as the gateway for 10.0.0.0/24 IPs. So it sends the ping requests through THAT gateway. But what the heck is at the other end of 192.168.0.254? VSNL. VSNL's router i.e 203.199.24.154 doesn't know how to route your packet i.e. 10.0.0.8 so IT says "Destination host unreachable". Get it? Now if you simply want 10.0.0.0/24 IPs to reach the internet then you need to setup NATing on this machine. Search for NAT Linux, IP forwarding etc... you'll get lots of resource. If you cant do it, pay me. I'll do it for you ;) -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
