Make sure the box has an IP of 192.168.0.* and a netmask the same as the gateway. Then try :
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 then jsut type in "route" and see what it says... before u do that make sure the network card is actually running (ifconfig) otherwise it wouldnt see anything... if u have to do it from scrath then : ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 up ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.* netmask 255.255.255.0 (or whatever) route add default gw 192.168.0.1 route and it should show the gateway instantly or real close Hope this helps - overid3 =) On Monday 09 April 2001 18:08, Noah L.
