To check your gateway run: netstat -rn There should be a line with UG in it that is the default gateway. This should point to your LANs gateway, depending on setup this could be the cable modem or a router that sits in front of the cable modem. In /etc/resolv.conf there should be at least one hopefully 2 or 3 nameserver entries followed by IP addresses of your ISPs DNS servers. Start by getting basic LAN connectivity and then check for default gateway and DNS configuration. -- Scot L.
