How exactly are you pinging? Something like ping 192.168.0.XXX or ping myhost.mydomain.com? What exactly are the results when you try?
neither work - my gateway for instance is 10.0.0.10 if I ping that (I then have to ctrl-C out of it): ----10.0.0.10 ping statistics ---- 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss I've posted the relevant ifconfig, route -n in my previous post. Rachel
