I can can your *other* machines ping to 192.168.1.1? I think maybe you've got some architecture issues in your network. Maybe you are somehow misusing an uplink port on a switch or something like that? > not ping anything on the internet from the affected machine, but can from > any other machine on my home lan.

(This old machine 'used' to work with win95 and also > redhad 7.0 through the same router and dsl modem and same network card > years ago.) what are you using for a router? maybe you've somehow cnofigured a firewall such that this machine is not allowed out? Is your whole lan on dhcp? if so, are any of the "statically" defined? is your router/firewall limiting which parts of the address range are allowed out? do you have separate dhcp ranges with different rules? can you try giving the install machine a fixed ip for the install process? can you plug the machine directly into the router just for the install and if so does that help? (that would have the effect of removing all other variables and help pinpoint the error). Maybe you've got a borked dhcp system and its assigning the same address to multiple machines? etc etc etc there are many possible causes or work around for this issue. Hopefully, I've spurred you to find something A
