thanks peter , kevin & phil
my first mod
was to correct /etc/dhcpd.conf with
"option routers 10.0.0.1;"
& the error message to the ping command changed to
"....... 100% packet loss ....."
I don't know where to add the following.
"default via 10.0.0.1 dev eth0;"
Thanks for your help
Roger
Guessing here as I'm not sure if i've filtered/guessed the correct info: ping'ing outside world from internal machine behind a gateway machine which is serving dhcp to internal clients receives 100% packet loss.
Do logs say anything?
Either a. the gateway is refusing to forward the packets, or b. NAT is not enabled, or c. the gateway does not "know" (have a route) how to get back to the client. In all 3 cases the pong packet will not return to the client.
Has the IP address range changed when going from static to dhcp?
