Hi Andrew,
You ask great questions - THANKS
Here are some answers.
On the machine that does NOT reach the Internet, here is the output from
route command.
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
eth0
Here is the output from ifconfig command.
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:78:1E:66:90

On a machine that DOES work, here is the output from route command.

And on machine that DOES work, here is output from ifcongig

>From the bad machine, I can ping the good machine and vice versa. From
the good machine, I can ping the router at 192.168.1.1 but from the bad
machine, I can NOT ping the router - I get Destination Unreachable.
>From the good maching, I can ping linux.csua.berkeley.edu which is at
169.229.49.36, but from the bad machine, I can not ping 169.229.49.36,
again getting Destination Host Unreachable.
All my machines are running DHCP - some are laptops running windows, and
some are desktops running linux fedora.
I do not know the significance of the one additional line in the route
output from the good machine, or how to add such a line to the bad
machine.
Thanks again for sticking with me on this so far. I think we/you are
close to a solution.
Ed
