This all looks right. Is the IP address of your gateway actually
192.168.1.1? I suppose it must be.
What happens if you type:
ping 216.239.63.104
(that's www.google.com 's IP address)
If that works, but ping www.google.com doesn't, it's your name service
that isn't working (/etc/resolv.conf is wrong). In that case, copy
across /etc/resolv.conf from the gateway. This should be right though,
dhcp should set it up.
Other than that, all else I can think of is that masquerading has
stopped working on your gateway, but that's unlikely since it's the
laptop that must have changed at the cafe or whatever.
Did you say whether you are using cables or wireless at home?
I'm installing sarge on my laptop at the moment (I had been playing with
gentoo, it has some nice ideas, but I miss Debian!) I'm using possibly
the most weird partitioning scheme ever... well, certainly the weirdest
I've tried. I'll post about it if it works! :) and then you can all
tell me how I _should_ have done it :)
