Exactly - most gateways use the first usable address as a gateway, like
.1, so are you really sure your router is .5? That is... abnormal.
Traceroute 68.2.16.30 (cox dns server) to see what the deal is. Really
seems you're not getting to your gateway, so it'll die at .5. Ping .5
address too, is it there?
Try dhcp, static is not a requirement really as long as your dhcp/router
is stable. It's not windoze server here, should be alright.

is it on .1?
If dhcp is handing out .1 as its gateway and you assign .5 manually you
would have good internal connection but no route to the Internet.

Sorry, Michael, I am a little lost.
i changed the gateway entry in my /etc/network/interfaces file to be
192.168.25.5. Are you talking about something else? I am only trying
to connect over the wired network from my laptop to the Internet,
with a fixed IP. My interfaces file has the following (the comments
are the old values):
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.25.150
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.25.5
dns-search ph.cox.net <http://ph.cox.net>
dns-nameservers 68.105.28.12 68.105.29.12 68.105.28.11
#gateway 192.168.25.1
#dns-search tc.ph.cox.net <http://tc.ph.cox.net>
#dns-nameservers 68.2.16.25 68.2.16.30
Thanks!

Did you update your default gateway to be .5 instead of .1 for
the dhcp scope handing out to clients? If your gateway is still
pointing at .1, or your dhcp gateway is handing out .1 where
your router/gateway is .5, that would do it.

I just received a new ASUS RT-N16 running dd-wrt from
Flashrouters. I
replaced my aging Linksys BEFSX41. The only change I made
was to the LAN
IP - the router comes setup with 192.168.1.1, and I changed
it to
192.168.25.5 (my network is 192.168.25.xxx). I connected the
new router
to Cox through my cable modem, got a new DHCP WAN IP and new dns
nameservers. I updated my
/etc/network/interfaces to reflect the new
dns nameservers,
dns-search (changed from tc.ph.cox.net
<http://tc.ph.cox.net> <http://tc.ph.cox.net> to
ph.cox.net <http://ph.cox.net> <http://ph.cox.net>), and
the gateway from 192.168.25.1 (old router) to 192.168.25.5
(new router)
(I use a fixed IP on the wired network, and DHCP for the
wireless)
I can connect to the Internet using the wireless part of the
new router,
but the wired part of the new router times out on access to the
Internet. I can ping all my local machines on the wired
network. When I
ping google.com <http://google.com> <http://google.com>, the
error is ping: unknown host
google.com <http://google.com> <http://google.com>, so I
assume I cannot resolve any
Internet addresses.
Any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot/fix this problem?
Thanks, and Happy Good Friday to everyone!
