The gateway computer (the one with the ping problem) actually gets its ip address for eth0 (192.168.1.12 for the time being) from a dhcp server on the school network ( 192.168.1.5 , aka the computer i am trying to ping). > are you using a crossover UTP or BNC > or a hub/switch? Do they work? I was using a crossover UTP (UTP- thats standard rj45 cat5 cable, right?). Just to make sure, though, i tried with a couple regular cat5s, and a switch, but still no luck. (same error as before). The only other thing i could possibly think of is that the ipfirewalling stuff is getting in the way of sending packets? I'm not sure, but in case it might help, i thought i'd include output of `ipchians -L`: Chain input (policy DENY): target prot opt source destination ports ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a ACCEPT all ------ localnet/24 anywhere n/a DENY all ----l- 127.0.0.0/8 anywhere n/a DENY all ----l- server anywhere n/a Chain forward (policy DENY): MASQ all ------ localnet anywhere n/a Chain output (policy DENY): ACCEPT all ------ anywhere anywhere n/a ACCEPT all ------ anywhere localnet/24 n/a Note: im not sure about this line (in the input chain): DENY all ----l- server anywhere n/a but i tried removing it, and it seems to have no effect anyway... Well, thanks for all the help! :) Peter Welte p.s.- i'm kinda new to the mailing list, and not quite sure if i should respond directly back to you, or the whole lists, so i guess i'll send this msg to both. ;) --- "C.
