What if you traceroute to it? What does "sudo ifconfig" report? Paste the relevant part of /var/log/messages into your reply, too.
Okay, no couldn't ping a known address. can't find traceroute as a command. if config was long, same with /var/log/messages.it was defiantely something to do with the gateway. I sorta had it, sometimes. anyways... cut through the crap, removed anything in my machine hardware wise that was strictly not needed. (tv card, winmodem, netcard,usb2 card)
and then installed using knoppix hdinstall. works a treat now :)then added hardware back, and all going sweet as after the little ifconfig eth0 down trick :)
ultra happy. thanks heaps dudes. Haldor
