You're right. The dialog has a place for me to enter the Gateway. I put in the IP address of my router. But the output of /sbin/routes shows that there is no Gateway. $ /sbin/route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 On 11/01/2010 06:23 PM, Jason Barnett wrote: > Try to ping 74.125.19.147 this is one of google's ip addresses.

But, no joy: $ ping 74.125.19.147 connect: Network is unreachable The two pointers you two provided helped me see something else. I never put in anything in the boxes for "DNS servers" or "Search domains" in the Network Manager dialog. Also, there's a button for "Routes..." that I did nothing with. I have a vague recollection of being asked for a DNS server in the past, and I always just put "comcast.net" in the provided box. If I put that in Network Manager's DNS server box, the Apply... button grays out. I'm thinking this tool is less than friendly when one wants to do something non-standard. I don't remember having this much trouble setting up a static IP address with 8.04. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
