Run a `netstat -nr` and give us that output. Also the output from #ifdown eth0 #ifup eth0
The key should be in the errors (if any) that are there. It sounds like the gateway is not being added to the route table correctly: You could try # route add default gw 216.x.x.1 <or whatever the IP is...> Checked for typos? If the gateway is listed as a different subnet, then the machine will have no idea where to send packets... Hope this helps. glen -----Original Message----- From: Kenneth Scharf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2000 2:08 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: connecting to DSL I (finally) seem to have a working connection via IDSL. It works fine under windows by just setting up the IP, Gateway, Netmask, and DNS entries under the tcp/ip pulldown under the networking configuration for my network card. IP 216.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway 216.xxx.xxx.1 broadcast 216.xxx.xxx.255 How do I do this under Potato? I changed the entries in /etc/networks/interfaces for my ethernet card to match the ip, gateway, and netmask that worked under windows, and the /etc/resolv.conf file I added the lines: nameserver 209.67.3.166 nameserver 209.185.207.135 which are the actual nameserver ip's I was given. I then restarted the computer and tried to ping my gateway address (that worked). I could not however ping my dns ip's (network unreachable), nor get to the debian site when I ran apt-get. Any ideas? I will also need to install a second network card, recompile the kernel to support ipmasq, and set the IP on the second card to a local lan address so I can firewall the net to another computer (actually I am building a second computer to just handle the firewall stuff and my linux workstation will be on of three computers on the local lan, the other two running windows). Any ideas on what to do here?
