Problem pinging gateway
I have a new system that I'm setting up Debian 2.2 on.
It's a dual boot and i have windows on the other
side which at the moment recognizes the NIC, and can
surf the net without a problem.
The linux side appears to recognize the NIC, assigns
the IP and so forth. Netstat looks right. THe problem
is I can't even ping the gateway. I'm unsure what I'm
missing (may be something simple) so I'm fishing for
ideas. (note: I'm behind a router, the other two
machines I have run debian and both are able to get
out).
ifconfig
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWAddr :mac address here>
inet addr: 192.168.0.3 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask:
255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric: 1
RX Packets and TX packets change when i try to ping or
what not)

inet addr: 127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK Running MTU: 3924 metrix:1
netstat -rn
Dest GW Genmask Flags MSS Win irtt Iface
192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 YG 0 0 0 eth0
(sorry about the formating there)
This netstat -rn looks similar to the netstat -rn on
another machine.
The computer does seem to recognize the network card
on bootup, and I can ping myself. I am unable to ping
outside anything else.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is pretty
much the last step before I can get this computer into
production and it's annoying as heck:)
Thanks
