The Router (Linksys with DD-WRT 23 sp1 firmware) at address 192.168.1.1 is actually telling me when I try to ping yahoo's IP (not name, IP) : FROM 192.168.1.1 icmp_seq=0 Destination Net Unreachable So am I right thinking this indicates the Router is blocking my packets and if so any idea why? I know you can't see the first thing here, just your guess. Why would Windows boxes be able (one with a Static IP like the Linux box) be able to ping off the network and not the Linux box? Any idea even what I should be looking for in terms of the problem? Thanks and I hope in this case I'm not getting too far OT. John Warner
