Netstat -r returns -I left off col heads. 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 In the gui for eth0 the Gateway entry is 192.168.1.1 which is correct. I don't seem to have a loop back entry. Also if this helps, I am on a Static IP in my LAN at 192.168.1.51 As to my router, it passes traffic from a couple of Windoze boxes to the Internet just fine; you're reading this email <grin/>. The Win boxes can ping the Linux box and the Linux box can ping the windows boxes. What it cannot do is ping an IP off the LAN nor say a name www.yahoo.com. I don't think this is a DNS issue yet as like I said I can't ping IPs off the LAN. What am I missing here? THANK YOU!
